Shelby Green is a Brooklyn based choreographer, director, and dance filmmaker whose bold, visually driven work combines rigorous movement technique with high camp theatricality and emotional vulnerability. Most recently, they presented the world premiere of their new dance, gasp, at the Osaka International Contemporary Dance Festival in Japan. Green is the founder and artistic director of Yaroque Dance Theatre, a company fiscally sponsored by New York Live Arts, whose work has been presented in New York, across the United States, and internationally.

Their choreography earned a BroadwayWorld nomination for Best Off Off Broadway Choreography. Green holds a BFA in Dance Performance from Southern Methodist University and draws from Balanchine, Graham, Gaga, clowning, and drag to create highly visual work for stage and screen.
Theme: Mental Health Awareness Month!
Duration: Approx. 2hrs workshop with a 10 minutes break for costume change.
What to expect: The dancer will dance very slowly and will hold poses in between dance moves. The slow dance movements encourage the artists to attempt to draw the dance movement. Each half is around 30 to 40 min long with multiple poses and dance segments. Poses start at 30 sec to 1 min for warm up and then we move on to 3min, 5min, 8min poses in the first half and 5 min,10 min and 15 minutes poses in the second half. Dancer dancers slowly before holding each pose.
