Morgan + Malashock Dance Residency & Masterclass \n \n \n \n May 26 – 30\, 2025 \n \n \n \n The Dulling Effect is a bold performance\, conceived and choreographed by former Dance Place Executive Artistic Director Christopher K. Morgan. It challenges the audience to consider the ways in which technology\, legislation\, and societal norms can dull our sense of connection to one another and to ourselves. At the same time\, it offers a vision of what can happen when we resist those forces—when we embrace diversity\, celebrate individuality\, and reclaim our right to express our true selves. On Wednesday\, May 28 at 6:30 pm\, join Dance Place for a FREE intermediate-advanced contemporary practice masterclass taught by our Former Executive Artistic Director Christopher K. Morgan! Through a warm-up that incorporates yoga\, release technique\, modern dance\, task based improvisation\, and a thoughtful build-up to full-bodied virtuosic movement\, students are asked to bring their entire selves into the class and express themselves without inhibition. Physical tasks throughout the class emphasize smooth transitions in and out of the floor\, clear use of the legs\, grounded balance\, expansive stretch\, and abandoned upper bodies. These physical qualities all stand on a foundation of community values that balance listening to oneself with acutely tuning into the ensemble. The class will draw on phrase work from Morgan’s currently developing work The Dulling Effect. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n RSVP FOR MASTERCLASS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Then\, come back on Friday\, May 30 at 6 PM for an informal showing The Dulling Effect\, followed by an open reception! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n RSVP FOR INFORMAL SHOWING\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thank you to our 2024-2025 Season Supporters!
