This dance form invites us to have a self-sense that extends spatially to include our partners and our environment. It trains us to shift our physical and mental boundaries beyond our normative modalities by leading us into highly physical meditative states. In this class we will stretch our understanding of physicality and perception as an art of attention. We will increase our ability to act responsively through developing new skills that enhance our physical intelligence. Dancers will engage with the principles that underlie the dance form so that they are able to attend relationally in a more flexible creative practice.
Discovering new forms of awareness we will learn to dance safely in a state that gives us an ability to read each ecological moment energetically. With the dance as our teacher, we will become able to trust ourselves to meet each moment successfully whether we are falling or flying.
