Morning Class with Jon Kinzel

MWF 10am-12pm

MR@Eden's Expressway

537 Broadway

Technique/Exercises in Composition: This class is designed to access multiple threads at once such as: greater range of motion and articulation; rhythm; isolated and momentum-driven movement forms; alignment; abbreviated improvisations; and dancing that supports a balanced square orientation over a vertical axis while traversing through space and shifting off center in a mode that reflects a play between athleticism, performance, and a particular disposition.

Jon Kinzel has presented his work, including numerous commissions and solo shows, at a variety of national and international venues: receiving critical praise for Responsible Ballet and What We Need Is a Bench to Put Books On (2010), Someone Once Called Me A Sound Man (2013) – Best of 2013 in Artforum, COWHAND CON MAN (2015), Provision Provision (2015), and Atlantic Terminus (2016). He has received fellowships, residencies, and ongoing support from several foundations. As a performer and collaborator he has worked with many influential artists, composers, and choreographers.
