Course Description:
 
Lesson 1: Rootedness
Intro to rootedness exercises and grounding basics. Forming a solid structure from which to generate explosive force and build stability for subsequent movement sequences.
 
Lesson 2: Emergence
In the second session, we will begin to transfer some of the static structures and accumulated force built up in the first session into steadily flowing gestures and energy pathways. Exploring continuous movement throughout the space, but still grounding these movements in internal stillness and steadiness. This will serve as a springboard into more free-flowing and dynamic movement pathways to come.
 
Lesson 3: Flow
The culmination of the previous weeks’ exercises. We will explore a combination of brief choreographed flow-drills as well as several semi-structured free-flow movement prompts to build up, channel, and release energy through dynamic pathways. By employing spiraling motion, steady drops, and explosive, light-footed launches, we will compile and move through various sword flow sequences that can assist and serve both your free-flow, improvised movement practice as well as inform and energize your choreography work.
