Class Description
We will begin solo, finding release and tone through the body, exploring levels and potential structures as we move and arrive into our bodies. Our partners will then create structures for us to explore, play and climb on – here we can experiment with weight giving, balance, dis-orientation, rolling, extending, release. Finally we can dance fluidly together, both partners offering structures and support for one another as we explore the limitless possibilites of the contact improvisation playground!
