Classes in Spiral & Root / 5 days – second week
SLOW LAUNCH INTO SPACE
I am very curious about the initial stages of dance, that moment when we collectively explore our unique dynamic and the mood of the moment. I love how curiosity unfolds through touch, sparking a playful interaction that invites us to pause and deeply engage with the present before moving forward. I will be happy to bring these reflections into our collaborative work in the studio.
During our week together, we will also delve into the nuances of leading a contact improvisation class. What does leadership mean in this context? Through thoughtful dialogue and hands-on practice, we will explore pedagogy, class dynamics, and various methodologies that can enhance our ability to guide a session effectively.
