This technique class will focus on sensorial awareness of the body, using the floor as a guide and access point for expansion into space. We will begin slowly, tuning into this relationship with the floor and our physical connectivity while accessing power in the core. Dancers will explore balance through dis- and re-orientation with gravity, as well as momentum and articulation in collaboration with ease. Improvisation will be incorporated into class as a way to further explore given imagery and concepts. Wear layers (pants preferred) for warmth and ease of friction against the floor. This may be a good class for dancers just arriving to campus who want to ease into the ACDA experience through a somatically-focused, release-based technique class.
