*CLEVELAND DANCE FEST PROFESSIONAL MASTER CLASSES* As you might know, Cleveland Dance Fest is November 8th and 9th and will be featuring 35 choreographers in 2 evening performances, an emerging works concert, a youth showcase, and a day of master classes for youth and professional/college dancers. We have some exciting master class artists teaching at the festival on Saturday, November 9th that I think you will enjoy. Taylor Knight & Anna Thompson of slowdanger will be presenting physical integration, a class that will integrate somatics practices, Laban Movement analysis & more into an exploration of the mind/body connection. Kora Radella (Kenyon College) will present a momentum based floor work practiced rooted in release techniques and will explore the idea of riding the edge of control. Gina Hoch-Stall’s (MFA Ohio State University) class will invite dancers to have a more in depth conversation with their bodies through play, sweat, experiment & fly (with and away) from gravity. Contact improvisation with Kelly Hurlburt & Josh Hines directors of Seabus Dance Company, will focus on the tone of the body, how dancer’s give/share/pour weight into one another, ride momentum and other ways to move with contact. The class will conclude with a group contact improv jam. For class descriptions and other details, see our website <http://www.themovementproject.org/cdf19>. Feel free to spread the word! Cleveland Dance Fest is a great way to meet new people and have new movement experiences. -- *Irene Honora* Company Member The Movement Project http://www.themovementproject.org/
