A movement and journal writing workshop designed to address original dance work that has resonance, significance, heart, intelligence, and the beauty of a landscape. The class movement development is based on improvisations using the elements of choreography: time, space, transforming impulses of energy, accumulations of movements, and space maps. No previous experience in dance is required, but students must be willing to participate in exercises that involve movement improvisation for later structured and memorized movement sequences.
