In this one-off workshop, @dreachoreo the Director of Dance Masala, shares how she creates choreography, giving you the tools of practice to create your own! Drea works in the Indian dance space, but this workshop suits any person who would like to create their own dance for whatever purpose, be it for creative fulfilment, to create something to perform for an event, or to just get an insight into the process.
Drea will take participants through her personal practice, sharing methods and processes for creating choreography, before leading practical activities and approaches to developing your dance! This is appropriate for dancers and participants of all levels, ages and abilities.
Andrea Lam is the Director and Founder of Dance Masala Bollywood Dance Company, the largest independent Bollywood Dance Company in Australia, founded in 2012.
Prior to her work with Dance Masala, she studied Visual Art at QUT focusing on video work, projection and performance. As a dancer, she is trained in Kathak, Hip Hop, Bhangra, Waacking, Lavni and many other Indian and non-Indian dance forms. As a dance artist, she creates modern Indian fusion and is interested in using a combination of dance & video to tell stories.
To Andrea, dance is a means of emotive storytelling – the power of dance can transcend language, and a means of finding a connection with her Indian heritage and sharing it. She is interested in warping form, playing in the intersections of cultural, commercial and contemporary dance.
