contemporary improvisation forms w/ Audrey Johnson
Wednesday, 05/22/2024 | 10:30AM-12:30PM
BANDALOOP InstructorsBANDALOOP STUDIO West: 1603 18th St., Oakland
class is an intermediate to advanced level improvisation based contemporary movement practice. My teaching draws from lineages of somatics, post-modern dance, contemporary spiral based and floorwork techniques, improvisation in performance, as well as yoga and herbalism. An opportunity to build our inner-outer kinesthetic awareness, class will begin from an introspective space and move towards an expansive movement and composition praxis. We will work with joint articulations, fascia, organs, bones, muscle, mind, voice, and the unknown. Through a blend of individual and partner/group work we will explore physical movement concepts of ease and efficiency, mobility and stability, effort, release, leverage and counterpoint, spirals, diagonals, as well as energy and magic. An opportunity to meet ourselves where we are at, the format of class will be primarily improvisation, with some phrase-work here and there.
things to note: All levels of movers are welcome but class will be taught at an intermediate+ entry point.
