Following their January 2023 workshop at the Kaufman Music Center, Michael Joviala and Dawn Pratson are opening up their own rehearsal space in March, April and May.
From Michael Joviala:
Since 2021, almost every week during the academic year, Dawn and I have met over Zoom to improvise movement and music together. We usually start with a movement warm-up (which I participate in). Eventually I wander over to the piano and begin to play watching Dawn. We continue for about 20 or 30 minutes sometimes without a break. I’m watching Dawn and she’s listening to me. Sometimes we respond to each other in obvious ways, and sometimes not, but it is always interesting. We end up at tune of mine sometimes, sometimes not. The session usually closes with discussion and reflection.
As part of our residency with New York Chapter, we’d like to open our doors to anyone interested. You can move if you like, or you mute me and watch dawn and play. You can also just watch. We’ll leave a little time for questions and discussion at the end. Please join us!
Dates: March 11, April 1, May 6
Time: 1:00-2:00pm eastern.

Questions? Write us at newyorkdalcroze@gmail.com, and we’ll send out a Zoom link the night before.
We’d love to see you there!
Coming attraction: an online workshop on May 20th 1-3pm eastern, with Dawn and Michael. We’ll focus this time on playing music for movement. Details coming soon!
