ACTION THEATER™ 
THURSDAYS, 7-9PM, Dates TBD

​Action Theater™ training creates a structured landscape of exercises and scores from which to launch embodied physical improvisations.  By empowering embodied expression, exercises naturally feed new creative explorations.  With each exercise tailored to the varied working groups, students from beginner to advanced can find new pathways to improvisational glory.  Using this rich embodied form I seek to inspire students to new levels of creative ease and expression in every class.

FRIDAYS, 10AM-12PM
LOCATION: 33 Hawley St Northampton, MA
​This morning technique class is an intermediate/advanced highly physical class working towards a grounded and direct approach to movement, infused with somatic principles and experiential improvisations. We will focus on the volume and weight inside the body and its relationship to the floor, bring awareness to the feet, spine, and pelvic floor, encourage the feeling of release in the limbs, and articulate falling and suspending off-center. Class work explores sensation, instinct, and the inherent musical phrasing inside the body.
