PAST WORKSHOP

Join us for the last Ballet Unboxed workshop of 2024!

CLASS DESCRIPTION / WHAT TO EXPECT: 

Many of us are called back to aspects of ballet. What aspects of ballet are still present within us? How does it inform our personal and/or professional lives?

Tuli and Ashwaty, each with a unique relationship to ballet, have found common ground to craft this first-ever workshop, inviting participants to join their journey of exploration. Through guided movement, choreography, and storytelling, you’ll engage with themes of nostalgia, creativity, and personal connection to ballet. This is not your standard ballet class—it’s a collaborative space where ballet’s traditions, joys, and challenges intersect with reflection and innovation.

Expect an experimental structure:

• Arrival & Atmosphere: Music sets the tone as participants settle in. There will be light snacks and warm beverages available throughout the workshop. The vibe is casual, cozy, and warm!

• Movement Introductions: Tuli and Ashwaty will lead a movement exploration inspired by their ballet practices, memories, and choreographic instincts.

• Creative Play: Explore choreography, shapes, and expressions, using prompts to connect ballet fundamentals with intuitive movement.

• Reflection & Sharing: A space for participants to process and share their memories and relationships with ballet through writing, movement, or discussion.

Whether you’re revisiting a powerful memory, challenging traditional notions of ballet, or simply curious, this workshop is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Let’s break assumptions, honor differences, and celebrate the creative threads that tie us to ballet.
