Modern and Post-Modern Practice
In these classes, emphasis will be on the continued development of basic skills, energy use, strength, and control. Intermediate and advanced students will study more complex movement patterns, investigate somatic use, and concentrate on the demands of performance. At all levels, attention will be given to sharpening each student’s awareness of time and energy and to disciplining the body to move rhythmically, precisely, and in accordance with sound anatomical principles.
