Class Description:

Together we will hone our access to sensations, initiations, and dynamic ranges that allow the body to speak clearly, driven by intention and authenticity. By tapping into the use of gravity, opposition, and energetic control through breath, we can deepen our understanding of how our inner experiences manifest, and how we can truthfully feel and express those experiences within a modern framework. These principles and concepts support a versatile, adaptable and rich approach to all movement languages.

I wish to encourage an atmosphere of playfulness, joy, and vulnerability. We are all here to grow, shift perspective, and try new things. Let’s support each other in our curiosity as we fall through space, take risks, and be bold!
