Description

I view my research at the intersection of Modern/Contemporary techniques and Improvisation practices; utilizing release and recovery explorations in the body that can be translated while moving in space, upright, or on the floor. The class is composed of structured warmup exercises, choreographic phrases, as well as improvisational tasks that begin to have the dancers enter into the research I call, “Sequential Flow “. The class stimulates our bodies and minds; awakens the spine and allows channels of energy to flow within the body and in space. At the heart of my research is the joy of movement mixed with the urge to push through our own physical and mental barriers. The class is an ongoing movement research that deals with understanding and refining sequential impulses and energetic channels within the body. It is the process of being deliberate and specific with physical impulses that create a defined fluidity and charged physical presence.
