The goal of my technique classes, no matter the idiom, is to explore the interplay between technical prowess and personal artistry. My definition of technique is quite simple – "Doing what you want to do, when you want to do it." To this end, I work to constantly highlight awareness and personal agency. Utilizing various elements of somatic practice and conditioning, class opens with a warm-up that allows dancers the opportunity to investigate anatomical integrity inside their subjective bodies. Continued movement explorations aim to balance full-throttled expansiveness with nuanced clarity and intention, and are accompanied by multiple opportunities to develop and refine rhythmic accuracy.
