Bio:
MAXINE STEINMAN has taught, choreographed, and performed globally in Europe, Asia, and South America. Praised by the NY Times as “ingenious” and “a jewel,” she danced with the Limón Dance Company on a project basis, recently performing for their 80th Anniversary in NYC. She has taught Limon and choreographed at the Ailey School, Fordham, Hofstra, and Institut del Teatre, among others. A Columbia MA/University of Wisconsin MFA graduate, she is Associate Professor/BFA Dance Coordinator at Montclair State University.
Class description:
This modern dance class emphasizes the principles of the José Limón and Doris Humphrey style. Each class is designed to explore major movement principles specific to that technique/style. Fluidity and strength are coupled with weight and gravity, producing a movement style that is spacious, dynamic, and musical. The elements of fall and recovery/rebound, suspension, opposition, gesture, momentum and breath, are used as motivating forces. As the course progresses, phrases develop in complexity with the addition of dynamic, qualitative, and rhythmic fluctuations, head and torso variations, or level and directional modifications. Improvisation and somatic influences will also be used to build an awareness of artistry, quality and alignment.

Klasserna är en del av projektet Vidare som drivs av Språng och riktar sig till dig som är professionell dansare eller har stor danserfarenhet – oavsett funktionalitet.
Tillsammans utforskar vi en funktionsöverskridande danspraktik och hur vi kan skapa ett hållbart dansliv genom hela livet, även när kroppen förändras.
Projektet utvecklas i samarbete med Danscentrum Väst, Dansalliansen, Regionteater Väst och Danskompaniet Spinn.
