Course Description

Summary

The class integrates a technical movement base with short phrases of full, supple, expansive movements that prepare students to tackle complex phrases at the end of each class. The work in class is designed to enable the student to manipulate his or her energy and strength in ways that are sharp, clear, specific, and contained in one instance and wild, abandoned, expansive and spatially hungry in another. The student is encouraged to think about the energy that moves within and throughout the body—How can this energy continue and extend outside of the body to possibly come back into the body again? How does this energy (re)circle? Is it continuous or can it pause? The student is encouraged to test their abilities to the fullest and not be afraid to “mess up” or “fail.” Learning from these “failures” may uncover new insights into the student’s abilities as an artist.
