DANCE ELIXIR

CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS

For Professional, Academic, and Conservatory Dance Communities

 

CONTEMPORARY DANCE TECHNIQUE 

This technique class is based on the action, release, and energetic flight of momentum-based contemporary dance technique.  We will build outwards, starting with the skeleton and working our way towards flight.  Together we will research how momentum intersects with line, pathway, and personality.

 

NEW GENERATIONS

—Composition Workshop

This workshop addresses movement inventions, concept generation, and body wisdom in the crafting of new work.  We will develop personal and interactive systems of movement research to further cultivate our internal/external processes. Through seeing, doing, and dialogue, we will examine our art-making tendencies and venture into new avenues of expression and design.

 

ACTONS IMMEDIATE

—Improvisation Workshop

Through solo, duet, and group improvisational scores, we will investigate “instant composition”, collaboration-based improvisation, choice making, and partnering. 

 

SOMATIC FOUNDATIONS 

A dance conditioning class that integrates multiple somatic practices including Experiential Anatomy, Hatha Yoga, Pilates, Alexander, and Feldenkrais.
