Alexandra Beller shares PRAXISPACE

PRAXISPACE, started by choreographer Alexandra Beller, is sharing a free essay and movement score that Beller created in the hopes that dance communities might benefit. “PRAXISPACE,” writes manager Maureen Janson Heintz, “is an online community designed to connect artists no matter their location, and to stimulate continuous creativity and dialogue. Although it's been around for a year now, PRAXISPACE has gained even more recent popularity as dancers and artists turn to electronic communication and online resources.”
