For over 25 years, JoAnna Mendl Shaw has created original performance works in collaboration with horses. This workshop draws from that practice, using tools developed through working with horses to explore connection and communication with other people in the studio.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to sense, interpret, and respond to another person’s energy—using your body to make decisions in the moment. Through guided duets and ensemble work, you’ll practice making clear choices, adapting your approach, and leading or following with intention.

This isn’t just for dancers—people from all kinds of fields use this practice. The work builds awareness of space, timing, and relationship—developing your ability to listen with your whole body, tune into others, and respond with clarity in the moment.

What to bring: water, comfy clothes you can move in, and a journal (optional)

Plus a private invitation to Open Rehearsal: Connecting with Live Horses the following Saturday, May 16th from 11am-12pm.
All participants are invited to observe an open rehearsal with live horses following the workshop. More details will be provided at the Physical Listening Lab workshop.
