WORKSHOPS

A multi-generational dance/movement workshop, featuring dancer Adam McKinney (Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre), will be held on Wednesday, February 9 from 10-11:30am at the Leventhal-Sidman JCC (333 Nahanton Street) in Newton. There is no charge to attend. Using dance techniques from McKinney’s training and incorporating the work of arts organization DNAWORKS, the workshop will allow dancers and non-dancers of all ages to explore their personal heritage and stories through movement and self-expression. DNAWORKS, co-directed by McKinney and Daniel Banks, PhD, strives to further artistic expression and dialogue by focusing on issues of identity, culture, heritage and class. Daniel Banks, PhD, is a Boston native and international theatre director. Register by calling 617-558-6483. The workshop is part of the Ryna Greenbaum JCC Center for the Arts.
