River
Susurrus pesents a modern dance to preschool children through Young
Audiences of Indiana's Early Childhood Program. This performance shows
how dancers use their bodies to tell a story. Susurrus will lead
children in a modern dance warm-up and cool-down. Young children
will learn what makes modern dance different from other dance forms:
will see how dancers use their imaginations, learn how dancers use their
bodies to convey emotions, and find out how they work together to create
memorable moving pictures.
