About the Show
Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Operation: Alice is a work-in-progress contemporary dance piece
focusing on what happens when an individual is thrown out of their familiar world and into an adventure.
This piece explores how a person navigates and relates to the external physical world and internal private
world, all the while asking the question, Who am I?
Arsenal Movement dance project (https://www.arsenalmovement.org/) will lead a master class for the
LAGCC community. Using material from Operation: Alice, AMdp will offer students the opportunity to
experience “release work” (muscle & mind relaxation focused on letting go in order to create) partner
work, where students will learn how to literally and figuratively share weight, and finally students will
create their own short choreography using the skills they’ve learned.
