A dance of relationships through improvisation & flamenco

Our dance is built on relationships. The relationship with material, with practice, with self-image, with the body, with space, and ultimately with an audience. And also, the relationships between what we see, hear, feel and think in any given moment.

What is your dance built with? What goes through your mind while dancing? What moves? Who moves? What stays? What is always there? What’s at stake?

In these classes we will learn a set of relationship-based scores, and through accumulation, arrive to a complex state of awareness in performance. We will combine abstract contemporary improvisation dance with concrete flamenco mechanics and rhythms.

*Course open to people with some level of dance experience.
