Dance, Music & Storytelling: A Theatrical Body of Work

Movement Across Cultures: Contemporary & Classical Dialogues

Embodied Storytelling: Dance, Rhythm & Theatre

Theatrical Dance & Music – Body of Work

This interdisciplinary program integrates dance, live or recorded music, rhythm, and theatrical storytelling to create meaningful, socially relevant performance work. Rooted in both classical foundations and contemporary movement practices, this body of work supports artistic inquiry, cultural expression, and embodied learning.

Participants explore:

  • Movement as narrative and social commentary
  • Character development through body, rhythm, and gesture
  • Ensemble work, spatial awareness, and stage presence
  • Collaboration between dancers, musicians, and spoken word/text

The body of work can be adapted to:

  • Cultural and heritage-based themes
  • Social justice and community narratives
  • Identity, belonging, and human connection
  • Literature, poetry, and historical storytelling
