DURATION: 5 HOURS

Masterclass for professional dancers

This workshop will focus on kinetic (motion) ideas that will facilitate research into the quality and texture of movement, both individually and in group structures. Over the course of the workshop, physical characters with complex movement at a high level of dynamics will be created. Visualization and embodiment are fundamental elements in this session. Performance and partnering ideas will be developed collectively, meshing a web of well-refined interrelations between dancers.
