The merging of the unconscious life of movement and the conscious attention to physical direction is part of the energizing practice we will explore in each class. We will improvise in order to expand our awareness of breath, weight, tension and release, taking time to notice our body's qualitative presence moment-by-moment. We will follow by dancing within technical forms to expand our range and awareness as dancers. We will conclude with a phrase that integrates concepts of weight, lightness, initiation and intention.
