How does Improvisation serve as a tool for living inside our bodies? We will practice and reflect
upon how our bodies and consciousness facilitate our relationship with ourselves, our peers and
our environment. Class will begin with focusing, releasing and relaxing. Moving across the floor,
we will warm up individually exploring concepts such as folding, extending, spiraling and
swinging. Having established a sense of internal awareness, we will begin working with the
architecture of the room, the space and and the other people.
