Course Description

Summary

This course creates a space for the study of anatomy and its application to movement techniques. This work examines different sections of the skeleton such as the pelvis, legs, spine, and shoulder girdle. We will also address the psoas muscle as the pillar(s) of the body connecting our lower and upper halves. This work aims to release the joints and increase the space within. This will help for efficiency in different movement techniques, and will also promote organic movement and an exploration of different movement qualities. As a consequence of this practice, we will understand ways to take care of the body, reduce wear, and amplify breathing, all significant health benefits. This course is intended for students from any discipline who wish to engage with embodiment and an application of anatomical concepts towards movement and creative expression. Students can expect to do some light work outside of class studying anatomical structures as well as physical work in class. No prior dance experience necessary.
