WHAT TO EXPECT
CONTEMPORARY
with Chantelle Good
In this class, we will tap into individual artistic expression and empowered movement. Empowered in the sense that dancers are welcome and encouraged to show up as their fullest selves, and approach class as a vessel for exploration vs something to “achieve”. We will begin with an improvisational warm up drawing from a variety of modalities, allowing dancers to connect to their bodies with curiosity and intuition. The warm up always ends with a house music dance party; a way for us to channel joy, play, and freedom as a community. The rest of class will be spent exploring a contemporary movement phrase focusing on circular pathways, textural qualities, and musicality.
PARTNERING + FLOORWORK
with Dual Rivet
Dual Rivet’s class encompasses a wide range of contemporary floorwork and partnering skills. We will explore intense physicality through strength building techniques, attention to placement and weight, and a curiosity to move. The classes will include basic floorwork and partnering concepts, contact improvisation, and repertoire that is inspired heavily by capoeira, acrobatics, and release technique. The class emphasizes our maximum physical capacity as movers as we will focus on softening and delving into safe practices. The result will be momentous, seamless and sustainable movement, allowing for personal exploration of style and musicality.
PHYSICAL STORYTELLING
with Ingrid Kapteyn
Class will orient around structuring the body and destructuring the mind, to free up access to imagination and intuition and to shorten the distance from impulse to action. Rigorous explorations of tension and intention will pair with storytelling exercises built around making and bypassing choice. What is the relationship between an idea and a movement? How do we, as dancers, align what we want to "say" with how we express it?
