About this event

Pedagogical Inquiry/rebalancing/resonating and entering into a poetic sensibility with a personal practice with Pamela Pietro

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Pamela Pietro’s teaching exists to widen the physical range and mental awareness of dancers’ capabilities. Pamela’s thorough anatomical, somatic and neurological knowledge sets the principles for this class. The experience is based in preparing a body forward towards a full physical charge underlaid in release and response.

The class is pure physicality by designing the body in space through positive motivation, clear detail, initiation, follow-through, focus, and intent while exploring varied spatial directions within the environment. There is no forcing, only a space for individual learning through process and practice.

We work together in deepening the awareness of an embodied physical practice that encompasses the work of reorganizing the “physicalness” of being in space.
