The focus of these five mornings together will be our physicality, our bodies, our moving, and our attention to all of this and to each other. We will take time to carefully and luxuriously ready ourselves for full-out/ full-bodied movement, as we try to locate our individual ease, clarity, strength, attention, and robust energy. This structured preparation will also attend to physical mechanics, alignment, and space for feedback from our bodies. The atmosphere is relaxed and collaborative, but our work is rigorous. Through some improvisation, we will continue to stimulate our awareness, our focus, and our intuition as we listen to ourselves while we listen to each other. We will arrive at dancing together, look to heighten our articulation and discover the inherent intelligence in our bodies. In phrase work that builds and evolves during the week, we hone our skills, look for nuance, richness, and deepen our physicality, pleasure, and understanding.
What to expect:
In a relaxed atmosphere we will do both standing and floor practices – some of it set, some improvised and more exploratory.
We will learn a movement phrase that develops and changes and accumulates over the week.
