Alison Cook-Beatty, Artistic Director of Alison Cook
Beatty Dance
Partnering is a technique in and of itself. Learn the
tools, intelligent and anatomical ways of approaching
partnering work with YOUR body, and another’s in this
2-day workshop. The 2-hour class will begin with a
Dynamic flowing warmup infusing “Core Synergy”
exercises Alison has developed to increase core
strength
incorporated into a “Taylor based” center warmup. The
importance of cross training for the dancer will be
emphasized and tools shared. The class will progress
with traveling passes across the floor and begin to
work with
guided contact improv. The practice of taking and
giving weight, lifts and falls based on three principals:
leaning
against each other and leaning away from each other
(equal balance of gravity), pushing & following
(different
weight), taking off the pressure to arrive in lifts or falls.
We will develop a physical connection with a
watchfulness
to one as well as several partners. The last part of the
class will be working on specific choreographed
partnering
movements from the repertoire of Alison Cook Beatty
Dance. Phrase material will be taught and worked on in
class to have the dancers work through transitions and
musicality in and out of more complex partnering
work.
Please note that this workshop is an exploratory lab
and safe place for all that enter. Trust and respect are
an
absolute requirement.
