TAKAHIRO YAMAMOTO
What does it feel to observe impermanence?
Why do we forget things? How can time be related to space, mind, body, and objects?
Through the lens of the ubiquitous yet profound notion of time, this workshop invites you to investigate various time-oriented notions such as duration, repetition, ephemerality, movement, ritual, attention, changes, stillness, futility, suspension, speed, history, and more. Using the approach of mind and body integration, I will facilitate a space to think and intellectualize physical movement-based exercises that feels, senses, and moves with theoretical and poetic discourses about time.
SUNITI DERNOVSEK
In class we enter into a creative process that exists in the body and is in collaboration with place. When we dance, we dance together with the floor, walls, past and present. We engage with the ground to move through space and into edges. Meandering, wandering, getting lost, and exploring phrases, we find new ways to move.
NOELLE STILES
Meditate, commune, play in movement.
This class will incorporate gentle warm-ups (floor/standing), some improvisation, and short phrase work. The focus will be on creating space for self-awareness and expression, cultivating inward and outward presence, simply dancing in a room together, having fun, and sharpening some skills. You'll feel the influences of good ol' fashioned modern dance class structures, release techniques, improvisation strategies, Yoga, and a range of somatic alignment-based and energetic modalities.
MUFFIE DELGADO CONNELLY
Unmaking: Processes for Remembering
In this class, we will dance into worlds of entanglement, drawing inspiration from the intricate agilities of octopi, the ambitious growth patterns of vining plants, and the rhythmic suspensions of swells of the ocean. Through somatic inquiry, improvisational exploration, and dance, we will be guided by the organic happenings of circles, spirals, waves, and the infinite possibilities they hold.
