Physical Fictions

This workshop provides an experiential glimpse into FREEFALL's creative process. It begins with a physical warm-up and continues with directed improvisations designed to unleash wild and unpredictable responses which then become the basis for physical and theatrical storytelling.

Master Classes in Dance Technique and Partnering

Artistic Co-Directors Brown and Ruse—experienced, dynamic teachers have created a technique based on release, floor work, and free-flowing physicality. Partnering classes stem from FREEFALL's unique duet choreography and stress principles of weight-sharing.

A Permanent Thought

A large-scale site-specific project originally created and performed for the unveiling of four huge outdoor murals in New York City's Lower East Side. The basic dance structure has since been used to create new versions using participants as diverse as audience members on a Manhattan baseball field during the Dance Now Festival and teens and professionals dancers at Dance Theater Workshop's Family Matters. Each cast brings their own personal vitality to the theme, just as each site changes the work's inherent meaning. It can be tailored for any community, dance or student group.
