European Modern Dance Technique and Repertoire performance workshop with Nejla Y. Yatkin (NY2Dance) May 14, 2012 - May 19, 2012; Mon - Sat

Monday-Friday: 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Saturday: 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Nejla Yatkin's Mosaic class begins with a thorough warm- up focused on strengthening, lengthening, and preparing the body for an investigation of movement possibilities. With a weighted approach, we explore exercises that redirect momentum in and out of the floor and up into the air. This cultivates a sense of ease that allows for an alert dancer, conscious of the body's architecture in off- balance, explosive, and suspended three-dimensional situations.

We also tackle improvisational problems often using partnered work in dialogue with set phrasework to encourage spatially aware intuitive choice-making. At the base of this class is a joy of movement captured in a final dance that is a complex play of full-bodied potential through space.

There will be a studio performance during class of the material developed throughout the week on Saturday, May 19th.
