Class Description:

In this we will use Floorwork as a vehicle to search for functional movement patterning. We will work through exercises that challenge and enhance our proprioceptive sensitivity. In an effort to increase movement variability. This will progress through a Floorwork methodology that aims to identify truths in the body. Supporting us in the search for a sustainable and efficient movement practice. Improvisation will be used to provoke adaptability in the face of obstacles. We will utilize phrase work to challenge our memory in understanding and recalling new coordinations. The goal is to provide resources for the development of the student’s own research and practice. And to invoke a sense of play when confronting chaos and complexity.
