Somatic Awareness and Movement Technique with Carmen
10am-12:00pm
Head, eyes, throat, heart, diaphragm, solar plexus, pelvis, limbs and feet. We dance the relationship to gravity, allowing all those parts of us to fall separately, together and sequentially. Nuanced organization of tone, incremental fall, gigantic fall. Falling in love. Falling as a continuous source of creating motion – a felt sense of body falling through space as dancing. Untethered. One fall becomes the seed of the next. Our senses turned inward and outward. We move at the speed of trust falling together as a community of dancers.
Improvisation and Phrase Work with Soleil
1pm-3:00pm
The physicality and poetics of falling will be explored through improvisation and all-levels follow-along choreography. Gravity as an expression of love. Disorientation as a perspective shift that allows connection through the unexpected. Resilience as the connective tissue between people, the earth, and all beings.
