The class focuses on understanding the relationship between the floor and the body. Emphasis is placed on the use of breath and the release of tension held in the body (particularly in the muscles) in order to work with the floor. We also explore the notion of “movement” and how one can surrender to it, rather than “creating” movement. Together we borrow and explore natural movement from both aquatic and non-aquatic animals.
