Workshop Description:

Both laboratory and technique class, we will delve into the body’s architecture and its unique potential, gaining more information, trust and range throughout the week. Through technical studies, set movement phrases and improvisational practices, we will discover, embrace and challenge habits and pre-conceived notions while practicing our relationship to time, space and each other. Concentrating on the forces through the legs into the floor will lead us to find more range, opposition and weight in the body. It will be a space for work, play, precision, and experimentation. This class is recommended for intermediate to advanced dancers.
