My classes are informed by my experience with Butoh, somatic practices, my background in modern dance, and my experience with performance. With a strong focus on sensation and memory, classes begin with a vigorous physical warm-up, followed by introspective work through imagery to develop new ways of accessing movement, creativity, and performance skills.
Learning Outcomes:
- Discover original movement from sensation and imagination
- Explore stillness and subtle internal movement
- Develop improvisation and spontaneous response to prompts
- Transform familiar movement patterns into new forms
- Translate visual imagery into physical expression
- Expand emotional and expressive range
- Deepen connection between body and nature
- Increase presence, awareness, and sensitivity
- Experience Butoh-inspired approaches to embodiment
-
Build confidence in personal creative process
