Florwerk: workshop with Gizeh Muñiz
Saturday May 10th, 12-1:30pm In The Workroom, 33 Hawley St florwerk This is a dynamic and deep movement practice. I am particularly interested in the somatic process of learning (or remembering) and embodying movement, which allows us to not only train the body for aesthetic and performance purposes but for strengthening our neural pathways that can help us expand our awareness of space, time and connection. Through breath, warmth, rhythm and stillness, this practice explores a rigorous and buoyant physicality that embraces pleasure, tenderness and community, through phrases, somatic practices and improvisation About Gizeh: gizeh moves, teaches and performs. She is from Mexico and is currently co-existing in Ohlone territory. Dedicated to the study of being a breathing body. They recreate body stories through touch, relationship, movement and stillness to explore new paradigms of temporality, relationality and intimacy. An improviser and composer devoted to witness beauty and the cultivation of wonder and curiosity. She listens to the dialogue created from, with, and through their body and her movement practice is fluent in floor work, somatic practices and deep listening. |

PHYSICAL DIALOGUES:
EXPERIMENTS IN COMMUNICATION THROUGH MOVEMENT with Daniel Lepkoff Ongoing Workshop April 23- May 28 6-9pm at BOMBYX Daniel Lepkoff is a dancer, performer, writer, and teacher known for bringing the process of living movement into the studio and onto the stage. During the early 1970s and into the mid-1980s, he played a central role in the development of both Release Technique with Mary Fulkerson and Contact Improvisation with Steve Paxton. Over the course of more than five decades, he has looked closely at the interweaving of sensation, perception, and action arising in the body's ever-present interactions with its environment and has developed dance techniques for bringing this material into the body and onto the stage. As a teacher he is known for his continual invention of original techniques, making direct contact with information, and pursuing questions together with students. He is one of the founders of Movement Research in NYC. He works internationally and lives on a piece of land in Vermont. |
