Deviant Innocence: The Juicy Side of Layering Techniques
Even angels can pack a punch….! Soft, subtle and powerful layering techniques for moments of deviant innocence! Focusing on movements that build like a slow burn, this workshop will focus on challenging yet inspiring technical applications that lead to juicy and rich physical expressions of any genre of music. We will bring down the tempo, yet play with a range of technical complexity that can be utilized to increase a dancer's physical dynamics. Movement combinations and sequences will be worked on that will be able to be adapted to your own personal style to add more options of depth to your artistic resources. The techniques will be presented in a progressive fashion to offer opportunities for multi-leveled layering choices. We will begin with single techniques and progress to the execution of multiple techniques concurrently. Then, we will apply the concepts and work with varying timing and movement choices to create personalized rhythmic/melodic physical interpretations of music and personal expression.
Sunday Nov. 9th 10am-3pm:
