About the masterclass
Drawing information from many different movement techniques/languages, this class consists of physical research which informs the physical/mental being in things that we are familiar and unfamiliar with. The contemporary dance masterclass will research listening to what is between us, inside of us, and around us. In an effort to allow similarities and differences to exist. It jumps into high levels of connection, activation, stretch, endurance, and groove. Also leaving space for the finding of small gestures that connect to a bigger picture of the moment.
