Valerie Green/Dance Entropy will host a FREE Creative Movement Class for Kids at the Queens Public Library - Corona! Join Teaching Artist Melanie on April 15th at 4pm.

GET UP & DANCE Workshops are rooted in the philosophy that all bodies can benefit from dance! Participation in dance and movement increases cognitive and physical skills, and fosters creativity through the use of imagery, music, stories, and props.

We are excited to present Skimming the Surface: Movement Healing Workshop with Arts in Education Roundtable for the 2025 Face to Face conference! We are excited to uncover emotions and new ways of thinking as we dive deeper with attendees.

Skimming the Surface: Movement Healing Workshops aim to service adult and youth populations that may be overcoming diverse forms of trauma and stress through somatic based expressive movement exercises. These workshops will help participants release blocked and repressed energy causing stress or discomfort in one’s life by integrating movement, feelings, and emotions.

This event will take place virtually and is open to attendees of the Face to Face conference, for details please visit nycaieroundtable.org/facetoface. For more information on our upcoming Skimming the Surface workshops, please email programs@greenspacestudio.org.

In this facilitated group, we find ways of supporting the unique needs of each member, while also learning to more effectively relate to others. We learn to be seen for who we really are, and see others as they are. We find healing where we may have felt pain or disconnection from the self. We find insight, awareness and courage to break and move past old patterns that no longer serve us. The group sessions utilize Core Energetics, an approach that engages group members through body, dialogue and awareness. Group sessions include shared movement and expressive work, and opportunities for members to process individual issues and struggles they would like guided support in working through. This group provides a safe and therapeutic environment, where you can express your feelings, take risks, connect to others and further your emotional growth process.

This group will help with: PTSD, Abuse, Relationships, Anger, Body Image, Shame, Anxiety, Depression, Self Esteem, Injury, Addiction, Personal Growth, Life Transitions

The Skimming the Surface: Movement Healing Workshop is an expressive movement workshop that helps participants confront emotional wounds and bring them to the surface in a gentle and compassionate way.  This experience leaves participants feeing expanded and curious about their emotions, with new insights to move forward from.  Green serves as a guide to help open doorways where each individual will do their personal work, leading them to a heart centered and intuitive place, finding a physical expression and release of emotions and energy whereby a healing process can begin.

Skimming the Surface: Movement Healing Workshops aim to service adult and youth populations that may be overcoming diverse forms of trauma and stress through somatic based expressive movement exercises. These workshops will help participants release blocked and repressed energy causing stress or discomfort in one’s life by integrating movement, feelings, and emotions.

The workshop helps participants confront emotional wounds and bring them to the surface in a gentle and compassionate way. When using the language of movement rather than words, different images or emotions may arise, which bypass the controlling and censoring mind. This experience leaves participants feeing expanded and curious about their emotions, with new insights to move forward from.

Each movement journey is handcrafted to best support the participants. Green serves as a guide to help open doorways where each individual will do their personal work, leading them to a heart centered and intuitive place, finding a physical expression and release of emotions and energy whereby a healing process can begin.

This workshop will be held at Green Space and is DONATION-BASED.

Green Space & Vox Novus invite you to join us, Saturday, January 25th, 7-10pm for a dance / music performance “15 Minutes of Fame” and “Cross Pollination," an Open Improvisation Jam at Green Space in LIC, Queens.

"15 Minutes of Fame" will be a salon presentation of 15 one-minute dances by 15 different choreographers to fifteen one-minute pieces for toy piano performed live by Yumi Suehiro, each by a different composer.

After “15 Minutes of Fame” all audience members and dancers are invited to participate in "Cross Pollination," where sketch artists will draw dancers as models-in-motion. Dancers will improvise with one another, while being inspired to move by the visual art in the making. Musicians will also improvise as they create a sonic landscape watching art and dance unfold before them. This is a unique opportunity to explore the combination of visual, motion-based, and audio arts. As host, Green Space hopes to provide a relaxed environment for spontaneous, free expression and improvisation between the different forms while encouraging synergy amongst artists. This event is open to artists, dancers, musicians and viewers alike. Join us!

Valerie Green / Dance Entropy presents EVERYTHING at APAP NYC

January 12th, 1:30-2pm

NY City Center, Studio 4

EVERYTHING is a dance performance installation evoking the ever-expanding universe, transforming the performance space into a constellation of stars and human bodies in various states of formation and explosion. Inspired by astrophotography, string theory, interconnectivity, and meditations on space and time, EVERYTHING weaves together a visual, physical and emotional translation of the cosmos.

Premiered at Zawirowania Dance Theater, Warsaw, Poland June 2019

Join Valerie for a panel discussion at PhysFest NYC! SUNDAY January 12th, 4-5:30pm

PhysFestNYC Panel Discussion: Dance Theater / Physical Theater - The Moving Line

What is the relationship between Dance Theater and Physical Theater? When does this line shift, and what effects does it have on producing, audience development, and the creative process? This panel will feature artists who define themselves as multi-hyphenates between both fields.

75-minute panel discussions will be followed by an informal HANG to make connections and keep the conversation going!
