This class practices/investigates the relatedness of Klein Technique™, receptivity and positions of consciousness – moving through the world or in a heightened state of performance.
“When I first began studying Klein technique with Susan Klein and Barbara Mahler more than 30 years ago, I had just graduated from The Juilliard School, where I had learned about my body by studying existing vocabularies of dance. Klein Technique opened an alternate route to self-knowledge that led to a level of movement potential I hadn’t experienced before. Becoming more aligned with forces, I discovered strength and power, as well as a potential for subtlety. As is common, when I was younger, I exploited the strength and power; diving deeply into subtleties came later and proves to be a never-ending realm of possibilities. This fluidity between power and subtlety has continued to evolve – in dancing and in life – while the foundations of Klein Technique have stayed relatively the same.
Classes are verbally guided while anatomical realities and underlying principles are shared. It works at the level of the bones, to align the bones using the muscles of deep postural support. Touch is used as a form of feedback.
But really, it is one’s understanding through one’s own body-felt experience that is most important. This is the learning. The internal knowing. It is ever-changing. And it takes practice.”

The Sun inside, glorious, appears.
In what feels like real time,
it cycles fully until it begins to set.
The setting is equally glorious.
The afterglow, blue-grey,
still holds warmth.
This is a good place to rest in.
