CLASS

In class, dancers can expect to deepen their thinking just as much as their sensitivity. We will begin with a guided improvisation with roots in somatics and anatomy built to help focus our thoughts, heighten our sensations, and broaden our physical potentials for movement. We will wrap up this improvisation with a brief conversation and reflection, giving us a chance to verbalize our physical experience. This moment of discussion is not only designed to inform my practice as an educator, but offer a chance for dancers to share what they would otherwise leave unexpressed. Perhaps releasing an undeveloped thought allows fellow dancers to empathize, express their own thoughts, and even shift the energy and sense of community of the space. Next, we will continue into a movement phrase based in various contemporary techniques that not only incorporates ideas from our guided improvisation, but correlates our daily human selves to who we are in a dance space. We will explore the spectrum of our strengths and weaknesses, our range of textures and qualities, and surprise our own expectations. Practicing patience, listening, and belief in our imagination, let’s dance!
