spatial extremes outside imagined boundaries
The class encourages students to learn how to maximise the use of the warmed-up body to increase their movement possibilities and take risks in dancing. The initial warm-up uses elements from Yoga, Ballet and Release technique to focus on discovering and strengthening connections within the body’s structure and to find a sense of fluidity in the joints. Dancers will develop an understanding of the connections between their body, the floor and how using momentum and breath allows an exploration of physically full dancing with the least amount of muscular tension.
During phrase work the dancers will learn how to incoporate all the information from the warm–up to aid the dancer in the execution of more complicated sequences as well as continuing to control the use of breath which can help maintain a strong centre from which one can explode.
