Groundworks Dance Company Holds Masterclass at Hawken
Earlier this month, students enrolled in Jodie Ricci’s Creative Movement class worked with professional artists from GroundWorks Dance Company in a ninety minute masterclass held at Hawken’s Gates Mills campus.
Working in two teams, students had the opportunity to apply problem-solving strategies along with creative and constructive thinking to create original choreography. Class members later traveled to Cleveland where they performed their dances on the Allen Theater Stage at Playhouse Square.
Students embraced the opportunity to move out of their comfort zones as they explored new ways to express themselves through movement. As one student commented, “I love being able to express myself creatively through movement,” one student commented. “It makes me feel more alive and free. The Groundworks class opened a whole new door of creativity for me.”
