Alexander Technique for Dancers
The Alexander Technique is a means of identifying and modifying the mental and physical limitations (habits) that interfere with one's full range of possibilities, as well as honing one's ability to make choices (take responsibility). In this workshop the principles of the Alexander Technique will be explained and explored, including "inhibition", "direction", and concepts such as "non-doing". Anatomical information, observation, and the cultivation of awareness are the tools at hand for investigating limitations, possibilities, and ultimately more clearing manifesting one's intentions.

Delicious Movement Workshop
Held in conjunction with Danspace Project's presentation of Eiko and Koma's Offering, this workshop is designed for dancers, actors, poets, musicians and visual artists who want to move with delicious feelings (no dance experience necessary). Eiko and Koma's movement vocabulary, compositional and performance techniques, which employ images, body articulation, floor work, and transformation, are provided as the common ground. The aim is to encourage the participants, throught their personal digestion of the material and of the improvisation and nonchalant partnership that supports it, to acquire personal taste and flexible discipline to suit their own moving body. Participants are guided through a series of exercises designed to increase skill and awareness in the areas of focus, coordination and stance. During the final hour of each day, workshop participants will work within the outdoor set of Offering.
