Our Level 2 training builds on the skills and concepts from our Level 1 and delves deeper into the wonderful world of theory, and how to begin to incorporate more sequencing into your classes.

We're excited to kick off our next multimedia Tiktok series with the awe-inspiring work Outi Harma. She is a Los Angeles based painter whose years of exploration in movement, dance and performance art, brings a wide variety of characters, fluidity and emotion to her paintings. Follow her at @outiart

We are so inspired by Outi's paintings and process. This is how she describes her painting process:
*
“There are two main ways that I start my paintings.

🎨The most common method is improvisational. I start by mixing and playing with colors. Images begin to appear spontaneously as I paint. I love being surprised by what will manifest on the canvas and letting it tell me a story, instead of having a preconceived idea of how to painting will look like.
*
Then there are times while I am in a meditative state, in movement or just sitting in stillness when an image will come to me and keep reappearing over time until I paint it.”

Does anyone else feel like the world has gone thro

Does anyone else feel like the world has gone through (and is going through) a collective "Down the rabbit hole" expirience? It feels like there might be a light starting to shine through the end of the tunnel. Lets hope it's the birth of an explosion of art and creativity. 💥🎭🖌

Did you know that the period after the Bubonic Plauge led to the emergence of the Renaissance? This was one of the greatest periods for arts, architecture, and literature much of human history. We've already seen massive amounts of creative resilience in the face of this pandemic. Let's forge ahead to new heights of expression!!

The “Gyra” as we call it is featured in our full length production WARPED which toured the U.S. In 2018 was designed by Todd Spiering, master mind of @circusgear. The gyra works so well with this image from Zdenko Basic.

The backdrop of the tree was designed so that it was not just a black background but gave a sense of being outdoors. It was also created in 5 panels so that we could weave behind the backdrop and disappear at any point on stage not just in the wings. The tree itself was painted on the floor of the lobby of the Armoury for the Arts in Sante Fe New Mexico where we opened the show with about 8 of us and a bucket of white house paint. It took many hours and many hands to paint that tree.
