BACK TO SCHOOL ... BUT STILL TIME TO PLAY!Hello everyone!
As we start our back to school routine, we realize that it’s almost fall (how did that happen?!) Fortunately, we’ve had a beautiful summer – not too hot. As it gets cooler, we’ll want to take our frolicking indoors! That’s what we’ll be doing in Movement class, in addition to dancing, laughing, shouting, finding our inner child, rediscovering our animal instincts, and opening up to connect and play with others! Free your body, improve your acting! Plus, it’s just good, old-fashioned fun, like you used to have as a kid, jumping into leaf piles or playing imaginary games in the backyard.
For those of you who have never tried my movement class, it is a powerful, fun way to release tensions in your body, explore new ways of moving and most importantly, improve your acting! Not to mention renew your instinct to play! No dance experience required.
Depending on who joins us, we'll decide as a group exactly what direction we'd like to play in. No experience to tons of experience welcome – we’ll learn from each other and all grow from where we are! If you don’t know me well, I specialize in Williamson/Laban, Viewpoints and Michael Chekhov. If none of those things means anything to you, NO WORRIES! There are no quizzes and I give playful and gentle instruction as we go along. For those of you who have played with me (or someone like) before, we'll definitely do a shape flow every week, and we'll play with text and other things. For the last couple of years we’ve been exploring Chekhov work and we had so much fun, but I want to tailor the class to the participants and give everyone some agency!
We are a consent-based space, run with trauma-informed practices.
