Calling all thrill-seekers, dreamers, and futurists! This class is a chance to imagine the future and enact it through movement. We will warm up through a series of scored improvisations, building into full bodied phrasework and creative composition tasks. Katharine treats class as a laboratory for research and discovery, at the same time guiding dancers towards an expansive and high energy physicality. Come explore how to unhinge technique and go deep.
This class is geared towards anyone with an appetite to move (intermediate-advanced movers).
