Contemporary Modern Technique with KO (T/R evening)
Geared for the intermediate to professional mover who enjoys deepening and clarifying alignment/technique through somatic lenses, we will warm our way from the floor investigating our bodies’ nuances that evening while considering the weight of our bones to activate deep core muscles. Solo Contact Improvisation concepts will invite ease and efficiency while conditioning mindfully, readying the body for a myriad of delightful possibilities that contemporary modern dance asks of us. We will consider all surfaces of our bodies in contact with the floor, noticing anchor points of stability to find freedom of movement in our joints and in space while sliding, swinging, floating, falling, pouring, gliding and all the things that inspire us along the way. Long pants and kneepads encouraged.
