Class Description
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. As the class progresses, we will hold on to that idea of economy as we begin to build complex phrases that aim to help you apply the ideas discovered through improvisation to set movement material.
