Free Summer Workshop with Pavel Machuca, The Phantom Limb

Dance To The People invites you to join us at our Summer Works Sessions with Pavel Machuca every Wednesday for 8 weeks.

Sessions will include class, improvisation and choreography. There will be a studio showing of the work in progress on the eighth week, available to those who can commit to a majority of sessions.

Class starts with an exploration of the body's relationship to the floor, and through a highly physical warm up will bring about the tools of the Sistema --a technique that could be described as gaga in fighting mode.

Afterwards, time will be devoted to develop a core movement vocabulary, through games and partner practice. Phantom Limb is about abstracting the perception and sensation that a missing form/source is still attached and moving appropriately, and understanding that absence by focusing on its functions within changing contexts (e.g. People, laws, an echo). 

Our first class will take place at Dancewave, 45 Fourth Avenue Brooklyn NY 11217. All the other classes will take place at The Woods Cooperative, 1826, Palmetto #1, Ridgewood, NY, 11385.

Sessions are FREE/Donations appreciated
