Improvisation for Performers
dancing with a flexible mind

Improvisation on stage involves the use of conscious choices in order to create an environment in which to dance. Students will be encouraged to find their own creative thoughts, integrating body and mind, space and time. Learning to dance with a flexible mind: Thus we will create material for structuring solos, duets or group situations. ”Dancing is perfect when a relationship of totality exists. The coming together of heaven/dancer/earth, past/present/future, and feminine/masculine results in a dance experience that is orgasmic for both dancers and audience."
Open to dancers experienced in performing improvisation on stage.
