Course Description

Summary

This intermediate-level movement practice course is designed for students who have dance experience or equivalent physical training in any movement form. We welcome anyone who would like to recultivate, reactivate, improve, deepen, expand, develop or disrupt their relationship to their own knowledge and experience of physical movements and commit to consistent physical learning. In order to have our minds and bodies relaxed as a default modality, the class offers somatic practice and warm-ups drawn from Water Body Movement (or Noguchi-taiso) and release techniques. Students are also introduced to various movement forms, practices and sequences fluidly, by moving from one to another without categorization and distinction, on the premise that a body is an ever-evolving organism, absorbing and internalizing everything while constantly forming and renewing its own logic. By exposing students to various movement languages, rhythms and flows, we will cultivate motor skills, coordination, spatial recognition, phrase learning ability and physical logic-making while diving deeply into the process of embodied learning. It is recommended – but not required – that students have previous physical training in ballet, modern dance, physical theater or sports.
