Class Description
Space Dynamics
Starting from an internal awareness of breath and of the space inside and outside our body, we ll gradually shift our attention to the overall space, investigating possible dialogues we will play with the idea of dance as a conversation in and out of contact. Moving from agreements to disagreements, to new agreements we will play with possible solutions investigate different ways to embody space.
The Jam
A jam is an informal gathering of dancers. There is no teacher, but space and time to develop skills and confidence. You are free to dance, rest, or sit and watch, as you wish. The jam provides an opportunity to explore and integrate techniques you have learned, and to find your own routes into dancing.
At some jams a teacher will facilitate a score to follow such as a focused (silent) jam, the Underscore (developed by Nancy Stark-Smith), or a blindfold (or eyes-closed) jam, this will normally be advertised via our regular mailout – so sign-up if you want advance notice.
