ACTIVATE is a half-day outdoor workshop experience to refresh and ignite the body through somatic and investigative practices. This workshop serves the dance community during a time of limited movement opportunities due to COVID-19. After cancelling KARAR's indoor workshop that was scheduled August 11-13, we knew we needed to create another opportunity to move together when it was safe to do so! We are excited to present ACTIVATE on August 12 from 9-1 pm to (location TBA). Dancers age 14 & up are welcome to join us and registration is REQUIRED to participate. ACTIVATE is a donation-based movement opportunity; payment is not required but appreciated to support KARAR DANCE COMPANY. Cash and checks will be accepted or visit karardancecompany.org/support and select "DONATE" (be sure to include a line regarding ACTIVATE). To register, visit the ticket link on this event or follow the link at the bottom of this description. Number of participants will be capped at 25 to abide by 10 foot social distancing. We will also have a wait list opportunity. Registration details including health and safety guidelines are outlined in the registration form.
