Improv Jams hosted by the Wolfpack

Join us for Body Music with Garret Welker
on February 18th
from 6-7:30p
at 4057 N. Damen

In these classes we will be taking time to hone in on listening.
To our surroundings
To the music
To our bodies
And exploring ways to incorporate ourselves into the sound environments we are a part of.
Class will include a short guided meditation, warm up, and movement prompts geared towards learning how to utilize our bodies and movements as another instrument in the soundscape.
Class will involve some slight (optional) contact, and deepen our connection music/sound and movement.

An invigorating piece of this show will be an improvisational performance, directed by Reign Drop, that will include theater and poetry elements leaning into postmodern aesthetics.


We are not your traditional company; there is no hierarchy. Dancers will spend time building a  synergy to serve the space, the individual movers, and all experiencers present. We want to prioritize visibility of different perspectives on dance through genre and experimentation of movement as well as technical elements.
