STAYCEE PEARL DANCE PROJECT & SOY SOS WORKSHOP
2024-02-17 12:00 - 14:00 (America/Chicago) | The Momentary, 507 SE E Street, Bentonville, AR, 72712, United States
STAYCEE PEARL dance project & Soy Sos has developed a progressive technique and performance training practice used to access individuality for meaningful physical expression. In this workshop, company sound designer, Herman Pearl DJs his mixes live, centering the company’s musical collaborators, as instructors guide students into the beat, expanding from center to the edges of their bodies in an improvisational warm up. Company instructors then use those ideas in technical practice, and teach repertory phrases taken directly from CIRCLES: going in.

Black Joy. Femme. Cycles of Life and Love.
Layering dance, visual arts, with pulsing beats and bass lines, the work presents snapshots of popular culture through choreographer Staycee Pearl’s lens as a Black woman. With an ensemble of five dancers, CIRCLES: going in is a colorful, unapologetic, and daring path to self-reclamation. Central to the work is an original sound score of hip-hop, house, techno and ballroom music samples–bringing the joy, spontaneity and uncensored freedom of self-expression from the club to the stage
