Saturday Classes:

*gravity tastes like honey. jeff bliss.* The mudslide series: an exploration
of the textured available in our play with gravity. Come join an ongoing,
playful exploration of creating more choices to choose from.

*foundations for dancing. daniel lepkoff.* In this functional technique
class we'll practice movement sequences based on developmental patterns of
locomotion that underlie & support all our physical action: rolls, spirals,
crawling patterns, crouching, sitting, standing, walking, running, and the
transitions between.

(cont'd sunday)

*access/axis. ione beauchamp.* Drawing from a variety of movement
traditions, we will orient to create dance that is multi-dimensional,
embodied and articulate. Class may include aspects of: Experiential anatomy,
repatterning thru proprioception and touch, movement sequences, and
scores/assignments.

*beyond seeing. pooh kaye.* This class will introduce ways of sensing
proximity. Through heightening alternate senses, most particularly sensing
electro magnetic fields, we will navigate both intimate and geographic
space. Imagine how flocking birds are in unimaginable proximity to one
another and yet they do not collide-this is what we will aim for- the
ability to move freely through space sensing one another without fear.

*informance. melinda buckwalter.* informance = information + informal
performance. Informance develops strategies to research your own movement
interests, sharing your work with a partner, an intimate lab for two.
participants are invited to facilitate a CI related informance for the
evening jam.

*dynamic anatomy + improvisation: the spine. jen harmon.* the topf
technique. Skeletal imagining and action, with particular emphasis given to
the spine and central axis of gravity, will encourage a playful approach to
alignment and enliven movement possibilities. movement work in deep
stretching, developmental movements, and spiral forms as research and
preparation into solo improvisation.

Sunday Classes

*foundations for dancing. daniel lepkoff. (cont'd)* This material provides a
natural base for movement explorations designed to enliven and integrate our
physical senses and perceptions with our technical dancing skills. Areas of
exploration include: Gravity Touch Vision Sequence

*kneading touch? lani nahele.* For touch on the inside, We'll use Continuum
Breathwork, and on the outside, Katsugen Undo. This is a form akin to
Authentic Movementm, with active witness to move our nerves, our blood
and our bodies.

*being scene. margit galanter.* we will generate composition through
collective action, using our multi-senses. in/visibility - becoming both
scene and seen. Influences include Lisa nelson's tuning scores, free improv,
& dialogue.
