Third Rail offers single master classes, multi-sesssion workshops or intensive residencies focused on composition, performance technique and/or the collaborative creation of new works for participating students and communities.
Third Rail's workshops and residencies are crafted to give students a practical sense of our creative process, emphasizing the tools we employ to make our contemporary dance and site-specific works. We share clear and applicable methods for generating movement material borne from a variety of sources, demonstrating ways to shape this material to fit different contexts and formats, such as site-work, immersive environments, and film.
Third Rail's technique classes strive to create a clear foundation that supports the exploration of a broad palate of movement possibilities. Third Rail artists draw from their well-regarded areas of expertise in the fields of dance, theater, music, yoga, bodywork, and athletic training to promote a deep and responsible knowledge of our bodies while building the strength, precision, and versatility required in performance.
Third Rail’s workshops and residencies capture the spirit of collaboration that is the foundation of our work. As we generate movement with students, we introduce ways of sharing, re-shaping, and personalizing material to explore the unique qualities and idiosyncrasies of each dancer and best capitalize on the talents that each individual artist brings to the group.
