Through embodied imagery, this class focuses on expanding self-awareness, increasing improvisational comfort, and exploring the internal landscape through narrative movement practice. Personal expression, an investigative attitude, healthy practice, and efficiency of movement will be emphasized. Participants are encouraged to improve individual understanding of their structure in working toward one’s fullest movement potential. Together we will investigate concepts including awareness of the whole self (mind/body/spirit); articulation of joints; weight of bones and organs; dynamic movement choices; attention to sensation; and engagement with the inner creature. An anatomical understanding of the body will be stressed. Class content is influenced by modern/post-modern techniques, contact improvisation, somatic practices, and various ‘efficiency’ based techniques. Intermediate/Advanced
