THE CLASS: The class will focus on specific exercises to stimulate body awareness and presence in relation to itself, to the space and in relation to others. By bringing our awareness to the gaze, as an initiator, we will start exploring the mobility of the spine and searching for ways to transfer this easiness to the whole body. Focusing on being conscious about how every single body part moves and how these body parts are related to the room and where they are positioned in the space. It will be a lot of eye contact, eye scanning and eye stimulation. Exercises across the floor, in relation to the space and with other bodies. Through the whole class we will be combining fix exercises with sections of research and improvisation. We’ll keep it playful, challenging, moving and fun!
