Led by Shannon Murphy, MVMNT <source> is a dance and Franklin Method Intensive. The Franklin Method, named after movement educator Eric Franklin, uses Imagery, experiential anatomy, and movement, as a tool for embodiment, re-patterning, and relearning to  use the body as it is designed.

Daily Schedule:
9:30-10 am – Check in

10-11:30 am – Franklin Method for Dancers
Open to people of all movement levels, this is a targeted practice to prepare and condition a dancing body using imagery and anatomical embodiment.
*If you have Franklin Balls, please bring them with you. If not, you can borrow or buy them at the Painted Bride before class.

11:45-2:00 pm – Contemporary dance practices
An advanced dance practice for folks interested in exploring functional and qualitative dynamics while imagining a three dimensional body.

LIVE and LET DI(aphragm)
Thursday January 4th | 6-8:30 pm
Join Shannon and collaborators as they share a diaphragmatic breathing practice and their latest work. Since Shannon and the cast use this embodiment to develop and perform the work, they want you to get to experience the it too! Through a Franklin Method embodiment practice, your breath will deepen, relieving stress and improving posture. Shannon is interested in how practicing healthy breathing effects both the dancers on stage and you, the audience. Light refreshments will be served after the showing where you you will have the ability to chat with Shannon and her collaborators and share your own personal experiences.
