Release Technique with Madeleine Reber

SATURDAY, JUNE 16TH
9:00AM - 12:00PM
DOVETAIL STUDIOS

Let's dance! Three hours to dive into juicy dancing, from the raw elements, to the subtle sensations, the bare bones, the complex articulations and manifestations...

My technique class is based in release technique and is informed by modern traditions such as Cunningham, and Humphrey-Limon, LMA/BF, as well as the non-vertically oriented work of contact improvisation. I emphasize attention to sensation, specificity of movement initiation and supporting lines of energy. Class often begins with floor work that warms from the center and builds connectivity to the periphery, preparing the dancer for vigorous, full-bodied movement and intricate phrase-work. We will approach technique through specific choreographed exercises and phrases, contact work, and improvisational prompts aimed at specific embodiment and connectivity. We develop a connected support from which to move off center and into and out of the floor, exploring a range of momentum and control.
