Course Description

Summary

We can find incredibly fluid movement by exploring nature’s phenomena - structuring through spiraling and shaping the environment. In this course we will explore spiraling, sinking in and growing out of the floor. This is a rigorous movement class that focuses on traveling through space, using the spirals embedded in the body and exploring how these will help us to separate from the floor and come back to it. We will create movement sequences and phrases sourced from postmodern dance techniques and Flying Low (movement practice developed by David Zambrano that investigates moving fluidly in and out of the floor). Starting from simplicity and leading towards complexity, we will gradually explore speed, phrasing, rhythm, spatiality, and expression. This course is intended for students who wish to deepen their understanding and experience of dynamic movement that relates to gravity and complex movement patterns found in nature. Our bodies follow these natural patterns through movement within ourselves and with others.
