Workshops, Intensives, and Master Classes
Black Label Movement is offering a mini-intensive July 11-13. The intensive is designed to be a quick injection of dance, movement, and Black Label repertory right in the middle of your summer. It’s also a chance to experience what the Black Label mover community is cooking up as choreographers in their own right, since the intensive includes tickets to Movers Make 2.0, including works by Cheng Xiong, Jacob Nehrbass, Elena Hollenhorst, Shannon Hartle Dolan, McKenna Prill, and Dominick Burkhardt! All intensive activities take place at the beautiful Barker Center for Dance in the heart of Minneapolis.
Intensive participants must be 16+ and have at least an intermediate level of contemporary experience. Sign up here!
