PARTNERING PRINCIPLES
This class will be an exploration of a wide range of approaches to partnering work. The proposed material will range from partnering based warmup/ body work and conditioning, through improvisation tools and athletic partnering games, to bits of fixed material and repertoire from my career.
We’ll work on reading, following, intervening. Knowing when to act, when to move, when to stabilize, to counteract. Moving, lifting, manipulating, intertwining, interacting, reacting. Swinging, turning, throwing, jumping, running, dancing together.
