Teaching
Improvisation/ Composition
Students will engage in choreographic exercises and improvisational tactics to find their own artistic voices. Students work individually, as well as in pairs and groups to develop choreography. Students will be taught Liz Lerman's "Critical Response To Dance" to develop how to communicate opinions and ask questions about each other's work being presented during each class or workshop.
Contemporary
Class begins with a thorough, full-body warm up. Students engage in various exercises focusing on technique, body, and breath awareness. Exercises range from floor to standing. Class culminates to a final phrase.
