Contemporary Dance Practice with Robyn Nisbet and the Dance Pak
Wednesdays 710-7/31 5:30-7pm In this class we will focus on perceiving our body through sensorial experience exploring qualities of movement. We will perceive our body in relationality with itself, with space, and with one another. Sometimes soft, sometimes vigorous, we will move through developmental movement patterns, dance conditioning, guided improvisation, partner and group work, floor crossings, and simple choreography.This class will be co-taught with rotating teachers. $15 drop in/ $65 for the series for dance curiosity at any level. We are practicing reciprocity living on unceded Indigenous lands by offering a portion of the proceeds to Many Winters Gathering of Elders (MWGOE). MWGOE is a Native led spiritual and educational ceremony that takes place annually on Gabrielino-Tongva territory. |
