Class description:
IN CLASS The class will work with movement scores and meditations to explore processes of sensing, attunement and somatic fabulation in dancing. Through guided exercises, improvisations, and structured movements we’ll move, with play, energetic exchange, shared fictions, rhythm to build states, affects, patterns and presences in dancing.
Class will be led primarily by voice and demonstration. We will at times work with groups, partners and touch. Different qualities of participation are welcome.
