SMASH #4 three-month program
connecting to inner space - opening to outer space
Liz Erber
We jump into class with a wide range of dynamics - moving initially towards the simple pleasure of dancing, bringing awareness and movement into the entire body, finding momentum, swing, rhythm, warmth and energy. We rediscover/ uncover for ourselves, the pleasure of moving and dancing. During the first week we will focus especially on basic movement patterns through the center of the body, finding whole-body connectedness/integration through Laban/Bartenieff principles. We will explore these basic patterns through partnering/touch, imagery (ideokenisis), explorations, and phrases. In the second week we will bring our awareness to the space we occupy, the space around and the space between. Composition will be more deeply explored in the second week.
