Participants then learn excerpts from ARD repertory alongside the choreographer and full company, inviting participants into the artistic process. The goal of these classes is to create a safe environment for professionals to deepen their social and emotional selves while also focusing on their artistry and technique. Designed to foster artistic growth, emotional awareness, and community connection through movement, this workshop offers participants a transformative experience that integrates physical practice with self-expression. For “normal” people who want to move with us we offer a class called “motional literacy“. Motional Literacy, ARD’s Educational Programming, extends the company’s artistic practice into communities.On stage, ARD explores vulnerability, acceptance, and connection through performance. In Motional Literacy settings, participants experience those same values in their own bodies through accessible movement-based tools that build emotional awareness, self-expression, confidence, and belonging. Overall, ML is core to ARD’s strength of building community through movement.
