James Finnemore
economically fast
We will begin with guided improvisation, usually starting on the floor and working our way to standing. The focus will be on inhabiting a full, available body, while maintaining a sense of economy and sustainability. Together we will then build simple phrases that aim to help you apply the ideas discovered through the improvisation to set movement material. As the classes progress, we will try and hold on to that idea of economy, while we move away from simplicity and construct more material that searches for increasing levels of texture, mobility, complexity, dexterity, and rhythm.
please be aware of our early bird special offer for this workshop! you can apply for this offer up until the 24th of march 2024. after the 24th the regular workshop fee applies. applications are accepted up until one day before the workshops starts.
