On October 14 and 15, dancers from Cora Dance Alleghany and Brooklyn will be performing live and leading workshops with the community as part of the Arts Community Celebration/Fall Festival! Inspired by images, movement, and stories from Founder & Artistic Director Shannon Hummel’s 1998 work Had You Been Here, Cora Dance leads Stories in Movement Workshops at the Alleghany Highlands Arts & Crafts Center Gallery for all ages and abilities through exercises and games exploring how stillness and movement tell a story. Participants get an inside look into what goes into creating choreography in a joyful, inclusive way and share their own original “story-dances” at the end of each workshop! For those attending later performances, Stories in Movement Workshops also gives a sneak peek into the themes, structure, and characters of Had You Been Here, which will be presented in full by Cora Dance Professional Youth Apprentice Dancers Anaïs Dallett and Sylvia Shannon at the Alleghany Highlands Arts & Crafts Center Gallery Friday and Saturday afternoon.
