Our guest today is award winning dancer, teacher, and choreographer, Brigitta Herrmann.
For the past fifty years she has co-lead Group Motion Friday night Workshops --a two-hour-long, nonstop guided process of dance/movement improvisation with live music.
The workshop combines highly refined structures of improvisation, movement meditations, and contact dance. An ensemble of musicians supports this interactive space with live improvised acoustic and electronic music.
It has been conducted regularly every Friday night in Philadelphia since 1971 and has toured to festivals, dance centers, colleges, and schools in the US and other countries across the globe.
Brigitta is the co-author of Group Motion in Practice: Collective Creation through Dance Movement Improvisation.
