Postmodern Moves 5

Kendra Portier

This class indulges in the dynamic forces between what we call past and future, known and unknown, collective and individual. It is a relational practice, filled with constantly moving and regenerating energies, where attuning to the sensations of one’s body in motion initiates discovery and a sense of contemporaneity. We will mobilize in and out of the floor, with and without each other. We will explore the utility and possibility of a range of release-based, weight-sharing, improvisational, and heat-building techniques. Through form, function, and vibrancy, we will cultivate ways of dancing that build compassionate grit, illuminate curiosity, and feel really freakin’ good.

As an advanced technique class, we will enjoy the complexity and expressivity of movement seeking liberation in its most embodied and creative form.
