This release based technique class invites students to explore the edge of movement while working with an underlying line and technique. Emphasis on sensation, initiation and weight will be introduced in a floor warm-up that will expand to a standing exploration of the transition between form and space. This class focuses on the personal discovery of true alignment and the different pathways that follow. Students are encouraged to use alignment to fall off of it, release it, and manipulate it. The warm-up will also prepare the student to use initiation and weight for movement on the floor, out of the floor, and to the floor. Drawing from release, yoga, ballet and traditional modern dance techniques, this class culminates with learning a phrase that takes a journey through abandon and control.
