Master Class Pass - Saturday

Contemporary Technique
10:00am - 11:30am
Leopold Group
This class features exercises drawn from a variety of contemporary and historical perspectives. Students will work on strength and flexibility, both mental and physical, in order to become smart and versatile dancers. Class includes floor and standing exercises, across-the-floor section, and phrase work, all working towards the break-down of movement defaults while simultaneously building up compelling, intelligent performers.

Modern Technique and Contemporary Rep
12:00pm - 1:30pm
Tracy Pattison
Pattison fell in love with May O'Donnell's Technique while training with former company members. The technique offered her the "bite of Graham and the breath of Limón" in one class and proved itself to prepare her body for a wide range of choreography. Class will begin with floor work from the original O'Donnell warm-up and progress to standing and traveling before departing to Pattison's own playful slice of rep, all informed by a lifetime of study in Dance, Pilates, Yoga, and Somatic Practices.

Improvisation
2:00pm - 3:30pm
Selene Carter
Streamscapes: scores and states for ensemble improvised performance. This class is a practice for solo states to emerge in larger group scores. We will particularize our movement appetites and find ways to transmit frustrations and desires that yield immediate choreography.
