Emphasis will be placed on the joints, examining how their range of motion relates to alignment, support, weight and articulation. The class will culminate in phrase work and traveling sequences.  Daniel Lepkoff       Improvisation   1 – 3pm     $110 Foundations of Improvisation: Researching Movement and Mind       We look at the ordinary movement from our daily lives as a source for our dancing and study how the mind and body work together to compose our actions. The primal patterns of locomotion that underlie and support all our physical action are a foundation and warm-up: rolls, spirals, crawling patterns, crouching, sitting, standing, walking, running and the transitions between. We learn one specific exercise that is a key for researching our own movement and mind and a tool to focus on the details of our sensory experience and perceptions. Areas of focus are: gravity, touch, vision, rhythm and sequence. Donna Uchizono           Composition/Repertory    3:30–6pm  $125       Known for creating a new movement vocabulary with each new work, Uchizono conducts a composition class, delighting in ways to develop material from a specific idea while exploring how one looks at work. Sections from the company’s repertory relating to the ideas explored in the lab add to the experience.
