Klein Technique™
The work in class engages us in a process that facilitates changes in the way we see, use, and relate to our bodies moving in space. We work with the deep connections closest to the bones, particularly in the pelvis, which frees the upper body to move with ease and expression. Working on the level of the bone, we find better functionality, creativity, and well-being. // REBECCA DAVIS TEACHES FELDENKRAIS MARCH 22 & 24. JOANNA KOTZE TEACHES MARCH 29 & 31. ANTONIO RAMOS TEACHES ANTONIO-KRAIS JUNE 28. WALLY CARDONA TEACHES FELDENKRAIS JUNE 30. WALLY CARDONA TEACHES AUGUST 9 & 11.

Pilates Mat Class for Dancers
Class incorporates dance, somatic practices, and strength training. These approaches are used to work with a range of bodies. We use props in-conjunction with Pilates exercises to open and release tightness that might inhibit movement. We organize our alignment through each exercise creating balance between strength, flexibility, and coordination.

Alexander Technique
Alexander Technique looks at the way we carry out our intentions. Often we use a process that is habitual, unconscious, and counterproductive. The technique offers a practice of staying open and alert in the moment, observing our familiar tensions and choosing to move without them. Beginning with the assumption that we are perfectly designed for movement and balance, we engage our mind to undo layers of interference, creating opportunity for change. TEACHING FOR RACHEL BERNSEN ON 6/29.

Feldenkrais®
The Feldenkrais Method� studies the works of our nervous system and our ability to recognize and create movement patterns that are both more efficient and more pleasant. The method emphasizes awareness, distribution of effort/action through the whole self, expanding self-perception and our ability to carry out our intentions. This class is ideal for dancers and people from different backgrounds interested in discovering more about their physicality in a pain-free way and enjoying a larger sense of well-being.

C O R E M O T I O N
C O R E M O T I O N Inner Structure (Tuesdays) Based on Qi Gong, this technical class focuses on the inner structure of the body approached as a whole organism. It is a tool to strengthen and cultivate core alignment in connection to all of the systems in the body and the opening of energy centers. C O R E M O T I O N Contemplative Action (Thursdays) Using the Chinese 5 Element Theory and other cognitive principles, we�ll intuitively explore the correlation between organs/senses/emotions/intellect and the propriety of the material space that surrounds to initiate movement states and actions.

Skinner Releasing Technique™
This imagery-based Somatic experience facilitates ease and healing. We delve deep inside and shed notions of style and aesthetics. Students enter �feeling states� and explore the limitlessness of their multi-dimensional aliveness. SRT makes for clear, concise, and subtle movers and nurtures an evolved sense of empathy and compassion.

Contact Improvisation
SARAH KONNER TEACHES ON 2/24. 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 all 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 by the individual artist faculty.

Contact Improvisation – The Basics
Contact Improvisation, initiated by dancer Steve Paxton in 1972, is a dance practice that plays with the physics between bodies and gravity. Using partnering skills such as rolling, releasing, weight exchange, falling, lifting and catching, and expanding range of spatial choice, the practice helps one move within sensation and disorientation, access moveable supports and tune to the use of touch, momentum, resistance and flow in physical contact as well as in solo play. This is an introductory class for those with little to no experience with Contact Improvisation or those who would like to revisit the basics.

The Athletics of Intimacy, Improvisations
Class combines skills and applications of Body-Mind Centering� systems and patterns of development and evolution, practices of Contact Improvisation, and tunings of somatic approaches within solo, duet (strong emphasis on partnering) and ensemble dancing. I am interested in the very physical, sensorial and imaginative, and in discovering new challenges and risks within our movement � of both body and mind � towards improvisational and compositional processes.

BodyMind Dancing™
BodyMind Dancingâ�� is a somatic experience of anatomical gems and pleasurable dancing woven with improvisational structures and follow-along phrases. It is based in Dynamic Embodimentâ��, Dr. Eddyâ��s combo of Laban/Bartenieff studies and Body-Mind CenteringÂ�. It includes partner work that supports technical development by increasing body awareness. Release tension while you explore dynamic movement! ‎

Witchcraft – A Corporeal Practice
JUNE 7, 14 & 16 ONLY | Several years ago changes in my health and body shifted the ways I approach dance and daily life. Without answers from doctors or bodyworkers, I began looking to witchcraft and earth-based rituals as somatic practices of integration, acceptance and healing. For this workshop we will look to astrology and the lunar calendar, as well as our own unique and defiant bodies to generate restorative movement. Astrological influences have a visceral effect, so we will simply be tapping into what is already there to generate somatic healing. Come with an awareness of something you might like to shed, heal and/or embrace.

Antonio-Krais
This lab will begin with gentle floor work based on the Feldenkrais Method�. It will be followed by a slow movement exploration affording each individual the opportunity to listen to what is within themselves and to discover their own innate movements. From there we will explore movement phrasing based on my own improvisations. Adding music, I will encourage the participants to create their own crazy characters by decomposing the phrase given and experimenting with discovering their own dance in the space.
