Making Moves x EMS Presents: Improv Session

Posted March 8, 2022

Wednesday, March 16, 2022 from 7:30-8:30 PM

On March 16th, Making Moves and EMS will be joining forces and collaborating for an evening of improvised music and dance.

For both organizations and their respective monthly series, collaboration and creating community are central to the missions of each group. Combining the practices of improvisation to both mediums, we hope to further create and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. We also invite other dancers/choreographers to join us to freely improvise in the space. Masks indoors are required. Proof of vaccination required upon entry.
