Class Description
Driven by Emily's movement philosophy of doing less to do more, this class will be a practice in executing movement defined by task, imagery, and somatic insight. We'll begin with some coordinated wiggling, improvising, and light phrase work that progressively builds in effort and complexity. Rather than culminating with a big combo, we will learn numerous, bite-sized sequences of movement (upright, floorwork, and everything in between) and practice them in repetition flowing across the floor.
