How does movement become the language in which to express ourselves? What does movement do and what can it become? How do we practice our unfolding ecology and dance for each other, for ourselves? I would like to propose living in the questions and experiencing what they reveal. Through partnered movement explorations and modes of physical listening as a way to heighten our responsivity, we will improvise and learn set movements and phrase material. While creating and navigating physical landscapes, the work we will do together holds an intention and an invitation to experience conversing intimately with movement, with dance, and with each other.

What to expect:
Class begins slowly and does pick up in pace during the second hour within the mix of improvisation and set material.
