class description
Layering various tasks with curiosity, imagery, and sense of humor, this class serves as an opportunity to dig into our approach to both improvisation & choreography.
Beginning with guided improvisation, we will wake up the body and mind, focusing on shift of weight, awareness and presence in space, and how texture, task, and story can shape and inform our movement. We will visit ballet form and various set exercises throughout to practice maintaining our movement research process inside codified structures and techniques. We will then workshop solo repertoire, taking the creative investments from class and housing them inside choreographed form. We will play with isolations, musicality, a lot of imagination, and how our personal approach can amplify and enhance the material while maintaining the integrity of the choreography.
