Improvisation is a skill cultivated to partner with each moment with a receptive and instinctual body. This class focuses on challenging physical investigations that break open our ability to listen to the mythical inner world, the environment and each other. Participants explore ways to enter states of transformative action through breath, directives, awareness and clarity of purpose to embody a more vibrant performance presence.

The body is an instrument that may be fine-tuned to access one's movement voice and sensitize kinesthetic perception. Dances arise from the stories that are held in our bodies; collective memories, experiences and inner states of being. Technique helps us to know ourselves and, at the same time, challenge those perspectives, creating paths towards unexplored potential. This comprehensive training includes work on the floor, self-acupressure, and challenging yet adaptable movement sequences.

Movement is a tool for communication between body and place. When we practice and cultivate body listening, dances arise from the stories held in the land; collective and personal histories, mythology, lost narratives, experiences, and the spaces in between.

This course invites students to excavate their creative voices through interdisciplinary exploration. Participants are exposed to different approaches to the creative process and are encouraged to reclaim, discover or deepen their voice through research, self-reflection, and constructive feedback. This course draws on the teacher's experience directing 20 original group and duet works and as collaborators with renowned companies.
