The Body Speaks teaches to the style and performance approach of Not Man Apart’s signature physical theatre productions, imparting our creative shorthand to potential company members so that they are equipped with tools for rapid creation in rehearsal and dynamic presence in performance.
John will cover a deep examination of Kin-aesthetic Energy and how it can instantly spark creation and inform improvisation. The focus will be to amplify skills and develop a practice of anticipating, reading and partner dancing with energy.

Instructors: Jones Welsh 818-618-4772 jones@diavolo.org
Subsequent workshop series will be taught by Current and Alumni Diavolo Company Members
Jones will guide participants through fundamentals of Contact Improvisation and partnering exercises, then shift focus to moving with objects as dance partners, expanding awareness of architecture, and maintaining safety within potential dangers of a shifting landscape. Starting with other bodies as a moving floor, we will quickly move on to play and improvise with Diavolo's unique sets and structures in an intense and encouraging environment. This workshop is for any age and ability level. Jones will lead a rigorous physical warm-up, including dance phrases, partnering, acrobatics, yoga, improvisation, catching and flying. Participants will have the rare opportunity of working with Diavolo structures which are key elements in the company's signature movement style. All are invited to come, move, and learn more about how Diavolo works.
Diavolo Dance Theatre is L.A.’s renowned touring dance company and hosts regular company class when the dancers are rehearsing in town. This workshop series is gauged to have continual training opportunities for the L.A. community when the company is on tour.
