Postmodern Moves 5
This practice invites dancers to engage in an intimate dialogue of breath and movement, exploring the transformative power of repetition and continuous motion. We begin with shaking, qi gong, and floorwork to awaken kinesthetic awareness, discovering supportive “floors” within our bodies, the surrounding space, and the sonic environment. As we progress through structured and improvised center and traveling exercises, we will focus on weight and momentum shifts, dynamic stability, and specific body-part initiations. Each moment presents an opportunity to begin anew, take risks, and rebound with resilience. Our time will culminate in “yummy” phrase work that allows us to see and be seen.
The advanced level class will emphasize an expressive and nuanced execution of movement while also expanding and challenging our performative range.
