TECHNIQUE
This warm-up and movement class will develop from simple skeletal mobility sequences to full-out, expansive movement forms. Emphasis will be placed on the joints, examining how their range of motion relates to alignment, support, and weight in the course of movement. We will also focus on how the inherent lines in the body’s anatomy can offer movement material in a full range: from the abstract to the dramatic. The class will culminate in traveling sequences and longer movement phrases.
