Led by Joshua Bisset, assisted by Laura Quattrocchi

This workshop uses development movement and fundamental energy patterns to develop movement integration and freedom to movers and dancers. Through the study of specific movement patterns and pathways, we connect to ancient evolutionary instincts of our arms, legs and spine, and gradually move toward surprising ourselves with our potential for flight and fantastically easy movement through space. We learn patterns, pathways and phrases as a means to discover individual expressions and access connections to the group. This workshop is adapted to each circumstance based on the physical history of the participants.  Complex dance phrases may be explored, or material can be focused on simple patterns which blossom into improvised expression and interaction. This class is reflection of Joshua Bisset’s 20 years of experience in grounding body techniques including the Feldenkrise Method, Skinner Releasing, Klein Technique, Contact Improvisation and Aikido.  He has led this and his touch focused workshops nationally at Andy Arts, Detroit, AVAM, Baltimore and internationally at INDACO, Vento (Italy), at CTR (Venice) at Kultur Kontainer (Bilbao).  

Suggested duration is three 3 hours sessions, or two 5 hour sessions. 

Level: Some dance or movement experience is suggested. 16 years plus.
