This training is for performers who seek to enliven their work through embodiment, specificity, and authenticity, and for choreographers who seek to integrate internal somatic states into their work and develop accessible and dynamic choreography. Through movement and hands-on partnering, we will open perceptions of self, increase physical potential, and expand our choreographic choices. Participants are invited to enter their animal-like appetites and childlike curiosities for physical investigation through engagement of the sensorial body. DanceSomatics.com. DanceSomatics.com.
