select a month jan 08 January 2008 Starting January 28th the windows in Eden's Expressway are being replaced. The upside of this? They won't shake when the class jumps, the plants won't get cold, and we will all be super warm all winter. The hard part? We've got to move around for 2 weeks and not spend time in that wonderful space while the work is being done. The following January classes are changing location to Judson Church: Klein/Mahler Technique with Barbara Mahler Tuesday January 29th, 10am - 12pm, Judson Church Thursday, January 31st, 10am - 12pm, Judson Church ongoing classes Barbara Mahler  January 29 and 31  T TH 10am - 12pm, Judson Church The purpose of this class is to re-educate the dancer’s body, interweaving theory and practice on a physical and organic level. From this comes the potential for students to discover a range of intelligence in their dancing, as well as to help them discover and develop their own choreographic vision. Initially inspired by the work of pioneer kinesiologist Dorothy Vislcoky, and then continuing for upwards of 20 years with Susan Klein, Barbara Mahler has learned to see, feel and teach each person/body individually to help their body function at its highest level of efficiency and function. K.J. Holmes January 5 – 26   SAT   11am – 1pm Movement Research at Eden’s Expressway The Athletics of Intimacy, Improvisations Classes combine skills and practices of Contact Improvisation, applications of Body-Mind Centering® and tutoring of somatic improvisational approaches in solo, duet (strong emphasis on partnering) and ensemble dancing. I am interested in the very physical, the very sensorial and the very imaginative, and in discovering new challenges and risks within our movement. Contact Improvisation Charles Mosey teaches for the month of January. September – January   W   6:45 – 9:10pm (No class on December 26)   Cathy Weis Studio Contact Improvisation is a partnering dance form. Skills such as rolling, releasing, giving and supporting weight, expanding range of spatial concentration, lifting, catching, and falling help one move with and through gravity, share weight in motion, and use momentum and flow in physical contact. These weekly classes, open to people of all levels of movement experience, are informed variously by the individual teaching artists.
