SMASH#10 Morning Training
particularities of moving
Maayan Danoch

The class aims to enhance somatic awareness and body connectivity. By engaging and disengaging places in the body, we become attentive towards body coordination, which provides us a ground to explore movement complexity and play with its particular qualities. The class starts with body work (alone or with a partner) that expends into movement study and play. It continues by applying found principles or sensations onto movement sequences, which are later challenged and modified rhythmically and spatially. The movement sequences offer a frame work within choice making can be practiced (in relation to timing, intensity, volume, etc) and various articulations of a single material can be discovered.
