Elaine Summers created the original ball work which she called Kinetic Awareness. It is a complete system of five stages taking the student from awareness of inner sensation to incorporating awareness of those around her and the wider world. Moderated by Juliette Mapp, this panel with Jill Green, Nina D’Abbracci, and Alexandra Ogsbury will discuss the roots of this somatic practice and its efficacy from injury recovery and prevention, and its creative application in Summers' choreography.
