Performance Lab CLASS DESCRIPTION click here
Immersed in rich projected images of moving water your journey into your own liquid body will begin
with movement exploration cued by the vibration of your own vocal soundings and live world music.
The movement warmup will help you feel the inner landscape of your own fluidly formed structure -
vibrating cells, bones and connective tissue - to provide a deep resource for expression. Then we
will dance with a focus on resonant communication to strengthen and refine your performance
artistry whether it be on or off stage.
