Contact Improvisation
February – July W 6:45 – 9:10pm
WeisAcres
Contact Improvisation is a partnering dance form. Skills such as rolling, releasing, giving and supporting weight, expanding range of spatial concentration, lifting, catching and falling help one move with and through gravity, share weight in motion and use momentum and flow in physical contact. These weekly classes, open to people of all levels of movement experience, are informed variously by the individual teaching artists.

RE-EDUCATION OF THE BODY – Klein/Mahler Technique
This ongoing class is based on a dance/movement technique that provides the underpinnings to support all styles of dance technique and improvisation. The purpose of the work/class is to re-educate one’s body with an interweaving of theory and practice on a physical and organic level. The result is clarity and sureness of movement, and a new level of understanding the innate intelligence of the body. A body of work, it is also a way for dancers to be treated, respected and to be seen as individuals. The class is open to all levels, dancers and non-dancers alike.

The Athletics of Intimacy, Improvisations
Classes combine skills and practices of Contact Improvisation, applications of Body-Mind Centering® and tutoring of somatic improvisational approaches in solo, duet (strong emphasis on partnering) and ensemble dancing. I am interested in the very physical, the very sensorial and the very imaginative, and in discovering new challenges and risks within our movement.Summer MELT 2008
