Spiraling around, Movement Practice
Course Description
Summary
In this course we will explore spiraling in and out of the floor. This is a rigorous movement class that focuses on traveling through space, using the spirals embedded in the body and exploring how these will help us to separate from the floor and come back to it, creating movement sequences and phrases used mainly in postmodern dance techniques and flying low (movement practice developed by David Zambrano that investigates moving fluidly in and out of the floor).
Starting from simplicity and leading towards complexity, we will gradually explore speed, phasing, rhythm, spatiality, and expression.
This course is intended for students with previous experience with dance and movement-based practices who wish to deepen their understanding and experience of dynamic movement that relates to gravity and complex movement patterns.
Learning Outcomes
- -Learn organic ways to move through space along the floor, as well as exploring the relationship between up and down.
-Gain access to the organic spirals of anatomy as tools for movement and expression.
-Create a movement vocabulary that integrates directionality, energy qualities, rhythm and spatiality.
