Saturday, March 15: Contemporary Release with NICHELE WOODS
Image by Marissa Mooney.
Class Description: This class explores functionality and articulation of anatomy for greater expressivity, and the play of/between release and clarity. My approach is informed by the postmodern / modern lineage, and is particularly influenced by artists who I have either worked with directly or the teachers of my teachers, such as Trisha Brown, Doug Varone, Doug Elkins, Christine Cali, and Joe Goode (SF), to name a few of many. You’ll feel/see influences from release-based techniques and ballet, some hip hop influence in my use of the floor, and somatic approaches that draw particularly from Body-Mind Centering®, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and Yoga.
General Class Information: Class is intended for Professional and Pre-Professional Contemporary Dancers. We call it Int/Adv because it is taught with the assumption that dancers are in different places in their careers, and with the intention of providing space for emerging and seasoned artists alike to experience agency and choice-making that honors their personal and professional needs.
