ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
MorrisonDance
March 11-13

For our 2019 Artist in Residence program, Bassett is excited to welcome  MorrisonDance   for a three-day residency,  March 11-13. 

Each class will participate in a one-hour workshop with our resident artist, Sarah Morrison, as part of physical education class.  The program of instruction is described as follows:

"A professional dancer from MorrisonDance leads energetic dance classes that combine movements from a wide range of dance techniques with creative input from the participants to create choreography and mini-routines. 

Participants play "dance games" that develop strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and body awareness. These concepts are applied to phrases of movement and to improvisational exercises. Tailored to ANY age group, this class uses dance to channel that after school energy: it's creative, fun, AND invigorating!"

Thank you to Bassett PTA for its continued support of special area subjects and for providing the students with the opportunity to participate in this unique learning experience!

If you have questions, please contact Mr. O'Doherty at  odohertys@wlake.org.
