Adult Improv/Partnering (open level)
at The Somatic Center
Adult Post-Modern/contemporary will focus of exploring and strengthening the body’s natural pathways and sequences through post-modern techniques. Class will contain elements of improvisation, core-distal relationship, sequencing, spiraling, release, and dynamic contrast. Dancers will be encouraged to focus on individual goals and pathways with support and direction from the instructor. Prior dance experience is required.
Adult Improv/Partnering will center around sensory and task-based movement cues as individuals, duets, trios, and groups. Don't let the word improv scare you! As Rebecca likes to say, "I'll never ask you to build a house without first giving you all the tools". Participants will be guided and supported throughout the class while simultaneously being pushed outside of their comfort zones and typical movement production. This class is for movers for all levels.
