Class will be playful, athletic, investigative, and surprising. We will warm up physically and creatively by exploring each individual's agility and expressiveness with both kinesthetic and textured phrases, as well as sensory-awakening improvisations. Creation will be practiced alongside technique, a skill to be culled and cultivated. Class progresses into partnering exercises, testing choices and outcomes using another body, not only coming up with multiple solutions, but multiple questions. We will approach all surfaces as viable dance spaces, whether in our environment or on a partner. Class culminates in seamless and supple partnering phrase work, pushing us to expand the limits of our physical, dynamic, and expressive spectra.
