Class Description
My dance practice as is based on the premise that movement exists in all of us at all times.
VIBRANT BODY is a celebration of this movement and the sensation we can receive from it. By understanding and experiencing the functionality of our body, its anatomy, layers and mobility, we can exist in a space between activating/directing our movement and giving in to its forces. This naturally creates sensation in our body which can stimulate the inevitable continuation of movement.
In this guided practice we work closely with the music and sound that accompanies the class as well as other external influences that effect our movement.
VIBRANT BODY is not a visual but rather an internal and sensorial experience of movement and dance. Therefore, the workshop is open to anyone interested in movement, regardless of experience in a dance class context.
My practice draws inspiration from Sidra Bell’s methodology, Gaga, Dose of Pleasure by Alvin Collantes, and my personal choreographic work among others.
