SUMMARY:The Rhythm of the Heartbeat with Azul Lopez
DESCRIPTION:I will center the movement that keeps us alive\, our heartbeat\, and represent it by playing my medicine drum. I will facilitate breathwork\, guided gentle movement that can be done sitting\, laying\, or standing. I will invite people to move intuitively towards the end of class. This class doesn’t require any previous experience or specific abilities. Everything I guide will be offered as invitations and the ultimate encouragement is for participants to sense for guidance from their bodies. I will also invite people to connect to their ancestry\, as many cultures have connected to the medicine of the drum.

SUMMARY:OPEN REHEARSAL: KEERATI JINAKUNWIPHAT NEW WORK
DESCRIPTION:Join Pointeworks for an in-studio open rehearsal of a new work by decorated emerging choreographic voice Keerati Jinakunwiphat. After just one week in the studio\, experience the early stages of her ballet in creation and gain insight into the choreographic process. \nPAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN TICKETS.\nOPEN TO ALL AGES.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReserve Your Seats & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to our Pointeworks creative space\, where dancers and choreographers can collaborate at the highest level. \nStep into the studio for this is a rare opportunity to witness the early stages of a ballet in development—where ideas are still evolving\, movement is being shaped\, and the creative process is fully visible. \nAs a choreographer\, Jinakunwiphat’s work centers on community\, connection\, and identity\, drawing from her experience as a Thai-American artist navigating multiple cultural perspectives. Her process emphasizes collaboration and exploration\, asking how we relate to one another through movement. \nThis event offers a unique window into that process—inviting audiences to engage not just with the final product\, but with the making of the work itself. \nABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHER\nKeerati Jinakunwiphat is a New York City–based choreographer and dance artist\, originally from Chicago. A recipient of the Princess Grace Award in Choreography\, Jinakunwiphat was named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” and is a current Artist in Residence at the 92NY Harkness Dance Center. \nShe has collaborated with leading contemporary artists including Kyle Abraham\, Trisha Brown\, and Doug Varone\, and has created works for companies and institutions across the U.S. \nIn 2023\, she became the first Asian American woman commissioned by New York City Ballet\, creating Fortuitous Ash with music by Du Yun. Her choreography has been presented at venues including Lincoln Center\, The Joyce Theater\, and MASS MoCA. \nKeerati’s work has caught the attention of the dance world and her unique perspective offers a truly extraordinary opportunity for dance to become something beyond movement\, but translate as a message to audiences. The question is then\, what will Keerati say with this work? Be the first to know and include your energy in the studio as she creates this ballet.

SUMMARY:LAB: Graham-based Modern (Beg)
DESCRIPTION:This 3-hour beginning level modern dance workshop introduces the foundations of Graham technique. We begin with a short warm-up to help lengthen and ground our bodies. We then dive into the codified Graham exercises\, beginning with floor exercises – bounces/breathings\, spirals in 3s & 6s\, seated contractions\, deep stretches\, turns around the back\, pleadings\, etc. Transitioning to standing\, we move to center work – plies\, brushes\, changes around the ankle\, and a center combination. As time allows\, we’ll end with exercises and phrases across the floor – triplets\, prances\, jumps\, etc. Through focus on technique\, we’ll develop strength and deeper understanding of Graham technique\, which has its own unique movement language. \nThis class is geared towards both beginning dancers and more experienced dancers who are new to Graham technique. \n*Recommendation: If you have difficulty sitting on the floor with your back straight up and legs extended out in front\, we recommend that you bring a yoga mat or towel/blanket. These items may be folded and placed under the seat for floor exercise modifications.
