Budding Katherine Grahams and up-and-coming Nijinskys, along with young Einsteins and Carl Sagens, should definitely be at Virginia Avenue Park on Saturday for Donna Sternberg & Dancers’ free workshops examining the concepts of time and space through movement. Children will participate in structured improvisations and create and perform their own dances. Workshop One focuses on kids from age 6-8 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., and Workshop Two will work with kids age 9-12, from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Funded through a grant from the Santa Monica Cultural Affairs Division, these workshops are a fun and educational way for children to learn about dance and science while exploring their own creativity.
