Workshop description

In the Feldenkrais For Dancers Workshop, you can begin
to rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, easy
movement through increasing your awareness of how you
have learned to adapt physically to the world around
you. Each two-hour workshop will focus on a theme
chosen for its relevance to the specific needs of
dancers and will draw upon knowledge of biomechanics
and an empirical understanding of human learning.

In class, students will be verbally directed through a
sequence of related movements designed to improve some
aspect of physical functioning (e.g., freedom of the
head, ribcage, arms, legs). Students will be
encouraged to learn at their own pace, moving slowly
and gently so as to increase their sensitivity to the
quality of their own movements.

Benefits include:

• Increased freedom and ease of movement
• Improved balance and coordination
• Increased flexibility
• Injury prevention
• Rehabilitation from injury
• Increased expressive range
• Improved understanding of skeletal anatomy as it relates to dance

Workshop Description

In these two classes we will explore intricate coordination, while paring down our embodiment of movement to its spatial and sensory elements. We will investigate what it means to have an integrative dance practice, using techniques that emphasize mind/body awareness and alignment through imagery. In a simple warm-up, designed to bring space, direction, and flow of energy through the joints, we will work with breath, form, and oppositional forces in the body. Full-bodied phrase work will draw on internal and external geometries (both imagined and real), and on our personal and collective senses of time.
