ADULT PROGRAM CLASS DESCRIPTIONS - WINTER/SPRING 2022
ADULT BEGINNER MODERN
Mondays, 6:30-8:00pm Eastern Time, with Kat Adler, Meredith Bove, Jules Skloot, and Ellie Goudie-Averill
Beg/Int Modern is a gentle movement class open to all; absolute beginners welcome. Drawing from traditional and contemporary forms, we will warm ourselves and practice full, unapologetic embodiment. Class will include phrasework, improvisation, and follow-along exercises to help us cultivate buoyant, adaptive bodies. We will sweat, stretch, and condition.
SOUND MIND + BODY: SOMATIC VOICINGS
6 Week Online Series: Tuesdays, 6:00-7:30pm, January 25-March 1, 2022, facilitated by KJ Holmes
Participants must register for the full series.
**No one turned away for lack of funds.
**Fees waived for BIPoC (Self Identified). Please email Jen at infoscdt@gmail.com to register.
This intensive 6 Tuesday evenings workshop will be an experiential frame to enter the kinesthetic landscape of breath, the acoustic body of structures and the bones. We will explore and research tone/color/pitch and articulations of invisible vibrations through movement (dance) and sound (voice) through guided physical meditations, mediations and manifestations.
The classes will be an invitation to play the field/s of familiar and unfamiliar sensations, facts and fictions of personal expressions rendered through dance, voice and texts.
The classes will be both theoretical and experiential.
K.J. will guide as well as open up the frames.
All levels of experience are welcome. Must commit to all 6 classes.
TEEN/ADULT CONTEMPORARY BALLET (open level)
Wednesdays, 9-10:30am and Saturdays, 10:30am-12:00pm with Jen Polins, Ellie Goudie- Averill, and Kate Martel
Students will be invited into contemporary approaches to ballet techniques that include kindness, rigor, coordination, curiosity, and specificity. Together, we will deepen physical exploration and expand knowledge of movement vocabulary. In these classes, dancers will learn and increase familiarity with ballet terminology, and apply anatomical information for maximized freedom within form, function, and joy.
Experiential and Somatic approach to Ballet.
Open to all levels who want to train together in a supportive environment. This program is for anyone who loves ballet, especially the people whom ballet has left out. Reimagine the standard components of a ballet class and prioritize joy, generosity, play, mutual admiration, and virtuosity.
ADVANCED CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUES
Fridays, 10-11:30am with rotating teachers
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. Open to all ages with previous experience.
