About the class
We will begin with guided improvisation; usually starting on the floor and working our way to standing. The focus will be on inhabiting a full, available body whilst maintaining a sense of economy and sustainability. Together we will then begin to build simple phrases that aim to help you apply the ideas discovered through the guided improvisation to set movement material. As we move forward, we will try to hold on to that idea of economy, whilst we move away from simplicity and construct more material that searches for increasing levels of texture, mobility, complexity, dexterity and rhythm.
