This is a physical Contemporary Class, which will involve strong, complex and technical sequences in and out of the floor, focusing on quality, initiation, performance and stamina. Each session will begin with a different aspect of movement study, focusing on the articulation of hands, isolations, spirals, breath and flying. Improvisation will also be explored as part of self-development, stemming from
a physical intention.The desired outcomes for the workshop are to develop the dancers’ creative mind, driven from passion, determination, strength, musicality and most importantly an intention and honesty in whatever choice they make during the session.
