New Workshop Format

As always, we at Recess are looking for new ways to foster creativity and empowerment in our community, and this year we are trying a new facilitation format with our class selections.

Rather than hire instructors for specific submitted classes this year, we have gathered a team of instructors to select and collaborate on creating a cohesive and inspiring class lineup.  There is a facilitator of the group (to make sure that the right questions are asked and everyone in the group has a shared voice), but otherwise the in-community instructors teaching the classes decide on what is taught, how it is taught, and how payment is divided..

The instructors below have been selected for the selecting, forming, and teaching of the dance-oriented workshops.

Nicole Trissell (San Francisco, CA)
Andrew Smith (Portland, OR)
Mark Carpenter (The World)
Kelly Howard (The World)

Flouer Evelyn (New York City)
Classes will begin on Tuesday (Aug 12) and continue through Sunday (Aug 17). Like everything Recess, times and order are subject to change.
