This movement class will develop from simple skeletal mobility sequences, to full-out movement forms, toward improvised events. Emphasis will be placed on the joints, examining how range of motion relates to alignment, support, weight, pathway, and qualitative detail in the course of movement. We’ll consider the inherent lines in the body’s anatomy as the basis for movement material in a full range—from natural to designed, pleasing to provocative.
What to expect:
Open to all levels. We will begin with a warmup on the floor, progressing to standing with solo exercises (both set and improvised scores) and gradually progress to phrase work that will become improvised dance forms, both solo and small groups.
