Sustaining your artistic dance practice is a generative class and transfigures Improvisations into Choreography. The class is a clarifying process for understanding the themes or content you as an individual are drawn to or can't help but to literally be moved into your body to talk/express about that thing. In this class we will ask questions,draw landscapes, augment our improvisations and have the option to work solo or in community. We will be improving and creating dance phrases to augment answering the personal fundamental questions of how, why, when, where and for whom you dance. These are questions that can change season to season, year to year. We will open up to the possibility of questions to inspire the body from "fear-frozenness" " overwhelm-frozenness" “alone-frozendness” and into movement investigation and current expression with collective accountability. This class is embodying augmentation, choice-making, and setting choreography or clear improv scores.
