In our time together, we will give attention to discovering movement in our bodies, expanding into complex states of movement, allowing for the joy of movement in ourselves and the sharing with others. We will prepare ourselves for full physicality through guided explorations focusing on the range of releasing and using tension, use of weight and momentum, and directing energy. Improvisation will be integrated into workshop to explore our internal impulses and our responses to the external environment as part of our movement adventure. We will notice our own inclinations, exchanges with others and responses to the space and place around us. I will also share phrase material to emphasize elements found earlier in the class and continue a journey to fuller physicality encompassing the large to the subtle and the personal to the communal.
What to expect:
An intermediate to advanced level of dance experience. You can expect a workshop that builds upon itself. A warm up period to help open ourselves for a variety of moving possibilities. Some improvisation to explore ideas of self, others and the space. Learning phrase material, integrating our experiences into the material, and including each other in the experience.
