Level: Intermediate
Location: Joe Goode Annex
Register for Class
Class Description
Drawing from the Feldenkrais Method, we foster the potency of touch as a vehicle for self-knowledge, community building and technique refinement. By orienting towards ease and a nuanced listening to our whole selves, we experience the functional use of ourselves as we direct our attention in movement within and without. We will investigate how to harness and integrate the forces coming from the ground through our individual and collective structures for spontaneously generative dancing, fast, slow, high, low, and everywhere in between. We will play with the idea that musicality can be a barometer for virtuosity.
