Modern Technique
Dynamic & Rhythmic Versatility

This class will focus on grounding and releasing the body in order to move efficiently and expansively with full awareness. Beginning on the floor with a series of exercises and then gradually moving through space with a larger dance phrase, the dancers will be allowed to investigate their own alignment and habitual movement patterns as well as training themselves to move with dynamic and rhythmic versatility.


Composition
Clarifying your own aesthetics

For choreographers and dancers interested in the process of dance making, this class will enable each individual to explore their own artistic voice. Through solo and group improvisations the artist will establish different structures and then manipulate and tear apart those structures in order to generate new material. Each person will find their own way to use Imagery, sound, text and imitation to formulate work. Artists will give and receive feedback on work as a way to clarify their own aesthetic.
