Ensemble Improvisation for Performance

Weekly sessions will provide structure and practice in improvisation, and will develop perceptual skills crucial to ensemble performance.

Through experimentation, dialogue and guided exercises, dancers will investigate the impact of actively seeing and hearing while moving.

Classes will emphasize:

  • Noticing the impact of “feeling” states in performance.
  • Recognizing ones personal, choreographic “ethic”.
  • The use of choice in creating a collaborative Instant Composition.

Movement analysis @ MTD

Recently I took over for Vincent Cacialano‘s movement analysis class in the Modern Theater Department at the AHK Theaterschool, Amsterdam. As an assignment the students each created a simple choreography and then used anatomical terms to describe the movement of the bones and major joints.
