(class) POSTPONED: The Underscore

NO CLASS on MARCH 17, 2018! See you back in the studio in April!

~

The Underscore is a structure for practicing contact improvisation within a compositional framework developed by Nancy Stark Smith. "It is a score that guides dancers through a series of 'changing states,' from solo deepening/releasing and sensitizing to gravity and support; through group circulation and interaction, Contact Improvisation engagements, opening out to full group improvisation with compositional awareness, and back to rest and reflection." (Nancy Stark Smith, Caught Falling 2008).

A talk-through about the Underscore will be given from 1-2pm followed by the practice of the Underscore from 2-4pm. The Underscore is open to people who already have some experience in Contact Improvisation and have participated in at least one Underscore talk-through. The talk-through IS REQUIRED FOR FIRST-TIMERS.

We offer a sliding scale payment structure to make our classes accessible for everyone. $8-16
