Your Body: Present and Simple

forgive yourself and your body!

We will work with technical and improvisational tools geared toward enhancing awareness of personal rhythm in connection with our surroundings and with our dancing partners. We’ll enjoy a luxurious floor practice and the structure of the class will permit a steady flow of movement throughout the space. An aim of this Workshop is to release stress related to movement practice and accept ourselves within that practice. I will try to give tools that aid in recognising directionality and intention of action. We will move from places of action, outward connection, attention and communication, and be attentive and generous. We will search for joy and lightness within a serious practice, challenging presence and simplicity. This workshop is open to all levels and is adaptable to individual body needs.
