WHAT WE DO
Range of Motion Arts customizes each workshop or workshop series to meet your goals. With attention to time & space considerations, workshops are made up of a sequence of accessible, arts-centered activities that initially focus on the individual and gradually build into collaborative efforts. While experiencing the creative process in a comfortable, safe environment, participants are able to take risks, build confidence, increase critical thinking, and work towards effective communication. And the integration of dance, nurtures physical & spatial awareness, weight shift & balance, coordination, rhythm & musicality, and improves energy & focus. Once a sense of community has been established, workshops typically provide participants the opportunity to share & reflect.
Samples of Past Workshops
2-D to 3-D: Creating From Image to Action
Often people can more easily express their ideas, first to themselves and then to others, using universal languages. This workshop used alternative symbol systems to uncover, explore, and communicate ideas. Participants were guided through a process of really cool and accessible art-making that incorporated both visual and kinesthetic play.
Collaged Cubes: Thinking Outside the Box
Inspiring three dimensional problem-solving, this workshop challenged participants to think symbolically. Cubes were used to investigate both the interior, as well as the exterior uniqueness of each participant. This then led to an exploration of individual movement vocabulary. The process allowed for self and group perspective to be authentically investigated.
Human Landscape Project: Body as Environmental Metaphor
This workshop utilized accessible collage-making as a jumping off point for movement creation and group dance-making in a safe, fun, and affirming environment. The process enabled participants to expand their comfort level with visual art and expression through movement.
