Our SPOTLIGHT ON Narrative Expressions through Movement class is a dynamic dance workshop designed for adults of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds who are interested in exploring the creative intersection of movement and theater. Whether experienced in dance or new to the art form, participants are welcomed into a space where unique stories can be expressed through the universal language of movement. The workshop focuses on creative movement exercises and improvisational dance structures that emphasize storytelling. Participants will draw inspiration from their personal stories, backgrounds, and life experiences, exploring how movement can convey emotion, narrative, and character. This journey turns every step, gesture, and movement into part of a larger narrative. No prior dance experience is required—only an open mind and a willingness to explore the expressive power of movement. La Jolla Playhouse on Facebook / Instagram
