Have me as your movement trainer this winter and let’s cultivate the poet within you!
ABOUT THE SERIES:
“HONEST PHYSICALITIES OF A POETIC BODY” is a series of online movement research programs tailored to ignite your inner poet held within a dance training space. Each program works with three poetic elements. Within this program, we will be working in a small group to research these elements through my knowledge in Gaga and my artistic practices in Contemporary Dance and Improvisation. Our goal is to help you transform your physicality, expand the range in your movement capabilities in order to gain more richness, clarity and authenticity within your body.
What I am excited about in these programs is the embodiment aspect that comes out of the research. By integrating the three poetic elements into our movement practice, it creates incredible potential to let these insights bleed into the fabric of our lives —- a magical moment where movement teaches us the ways to approach life.
I am interested in working with people who want to challenge themselves physically while discovering their poetic potential — in virtuosity, richness, depth and strength.
