Now it’s time to get funky! PopRally invites you to FREECESS, a large-scale movement workshop in celebration of the exhibition Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done.
Interdisciplinary artist Richard Kennedy will lead guests through a series of joyful, well-known movements inspired by their initial encounters with dance on the school playground; this is your chance to finally learn the Electric Slide and the Detroit Hustle.
By incorporating the familiar, Kennedy fosters community and embodies the collaborative spirit of Judson Dance Theater. A pair of DJ sets will also be featured: ITYS will accompany Kennedy’s high-energy workshop, and BEARCAT will close out the night with a celebratory dance floor set.
Richard Kennedy, an artist living in Brooklyn, works with sound, movement, and space to build worlds through operatic form. They are also a curator of queer nightlife and performance, and will graduate from Bard MFA/Milton Avery Institute in May of 2019.
Tickets ($25) are available online. You must be 21 or older to attend this event.
Admission includes a dance workshop by Richard Kennedy, an open bar, DJ sets by BEARCAT and ITYS, and after-hours access to Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done.
