The class will start with a focused warm-up, that is a combination of joint articulations, shaking, and resistance training.  

In the latter part of the class, we head into the choreographic scores I am currently occupied with. Some words on that: rupture, awkward, relief, slide, hanging out, vulnerability as a portal to transformation, micro-managing the journey with distance, and expansion within tension. The scores are meant to be investigative and performative. This class is for anyone who is curious about building and layering material through action, investigation, and discussion. The aim is for participants to explore their own vocabulary and interests through the framework offered.  

Please bring something to write with (for the class)
