Amber Borotsik will be facilitating a week of interdisciplinary, creation based classes as a part of The Good Women Dance Collective’s Creative Incubator. Amber used to be a drummer and downplays it a lot but, honestly, she is obsessed with musicality, rhythm especially. Intentionally eclectic, these classes will explore rhythm as an inciting incident for creation and improvisation, as well as a tool to refresh old patterns. Think of it like a mini-Creative Incubator.  Expect improvisation – solo and ensemble, creation tasks, sound walks and exercises to intentionally scramble our brains in a playful way.

Amber Borotsik is an Amiskwaciwâskahikan based creator and performer keenly interested in the intersection between contemporary dance and theatre practices.
