SERIOUS FUN! FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICALLY INTEGRATED DANCE
Join AXIS for an invigorating series that combines creative movement, improvisation and modern dance to explore the exciting genre of physically integrated dance. The focus is to deepen our capacity for movement invention both in our own unique bodies and in relationship to the bodies around us. We’ll also delve into material from AXIS repertory as a pathway to create choreographic sketches. For people with and without physical disabilities, no dance experience required. Class taught by Judith Smith and Sonsheree Giles.
