The Playground NYC allows dancers to experience various choreographic styles and ideas, engage with a new community of dancers, and gather resourceful information and inspiration from the array of choreographers involved. In turn, established choreographers are paid for their creative investigations, are given free space to explore new movement with professional dancers, and are provided with the opportunity to establish relationships with new dancers and fellow choreographers.

Class Description:
The class will begin with a guided improvisation practice: working through sensation-based ideas, textural cues, and research of rigor.  We will move into spatial-oriented tasks, connecting with our own weight and with the currents/organization of the room. Later, we will workshop related phrase material.
