Ananya Dance Theatre: Yorchhā Elements – Virtual Offering

Drop into a wide pelvis, surrender with a supple spine, and regenerate the spirit with grounded yet nimble feet. Explore these foundational elements of Yorchhā with veteran Ananya Dance Theatre artist, Kealoha Ferreira.

In this open-class series, participants learn essential Yorchhā exercises, embody justice driven choreography, and engage with ADT’s global community of feminist movers, all from the comfort of home. Yorchhā, is Ananya Dance Theatre’s trade-marked contemporary technique which intersects the principles of vinyasa yoga, traditional Indian dance form Odissi, and martial art form Chhau, and reinterprets them through transnational-feminist values to create a contemporary movement vocabulary that dances forward our collective dreams for a just world.

Recommended for adults at all levels of experience (including no experience) who are looking for opportunities to move in community. Participants will receive a Zoom link upon registering.

Pricing: This is a donations based class with a suggested donation of $15. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
