Nicholas Palmquist

I love to dance and teach at Orsolina28 because it was built for dancers of all intentions and backgrounds to take themselves seriously in the same way. It is a soulful and state of the art place, with beautiful food, views, and people. It is my favorite studio in the world!"

Nicholas Palmquist

This fall, Nicholas Palmquist brings his movement language to Orsolina28 Art Foundation for a third October!

Quist Method is a sharing of his idea: rather than testing how well participants can perform them his movements, they will focus on how to learn them, how to make it look more natural, coordinated, and expressive. Participants will do this by examining the way we speak to and about ourselves while learning. Much of Palmquist’s focus is in reshaping our ideas of hard work that proves itself as compared to long work that knows how to endure. Together at Orsolina28, participants will get better at what they put their energy toward.

Throughout the workshop, Palmquist will teach excerpts of his repertoire from various professional work as well as new and exploratory movements. His experiences in TV, film, fashion, theater and contemporary ballet provide a variety of perspectives and movement influences, with his choreography becoming a talking point for style, musicality and storytelling.

This workshop is open to all but requires stamina and a student mindset.
