Winter Intensive Movement Training
Facilitated by Josh and Laura of Shua Group
Tuesdays 6:30-8:30 and Fridays 6:00-7:45
February 17 - April 10
Location: Andy Arts, Detroit
Description
Josh and Laura of Shua Group will facilitate an 8 weeks training focused on releasing techniques and touch. This is a movement course where we will both study basics of coordination, levels, weight and posture; and we will also dance a lot. This course will not teach a particular dance form but a method of self discovery, observation, play and growth focused on movement and dance. We base our training on experiences with Feldenkrise Method, Klein Technique with Barbara Mahler, Contact Improvisation with Daniel Lepkoff, Skinner Releasing with Karl Anderson, voice practice with artist Billy Mark, Kinetic Awareness with Elaine Summers, and our own ongoing experiences.
We will work in detail on developmental pathways, energetic extension, postural balance, momentum, weight bearing and voice/movement interplay. Our method will be specific exercises, improvised scores, organized patterns and group play. We will dance by ourselves and together often. We will work with music and in silence.
Commitment
There are a total of 16 sessions in the course. We ask that people endeavor to take most if not all of the classes so we can progress and evolve as a group. We can discuss this with each person.
Cost
This is a sliding scale course. Compensation can take the form of work exchange or money ($150-$300)
