CLASS AND WORKSHOP OFFERINGS

ROVE/CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUE
Ignite the physical and cultivate the conceptual. A contemporary practice of roving through contemporary practices involving technical rigor, artistic clarity, rhythmic acuity, improvisational research, and somatic awareness.

PARTS AND PARTNERS
Part listening, part engaging—partnering the body, the space, and what is in the space. In this contemporary movement practice we will parse through our multiple partners within our movement practices through weight sharing, listening, skill building, improvisation and phrase work.

BASE GROOVE
Base Groove: Rooted in rhythm, we physicalize the pulse inherent within the diverse lineage and impact of jazz music and movement. While honoring traditional jazz music and steps, we situate the practice within our current bodies, focusing on quality, style, connection and musicality.

HARDWARE STORE HIGH ART
with Evan Anderson
If you’re like us, you most likely don’t have an endless supply of cash to make your artistic dreams come true.  You have to stretch your resources as far as they can go.  One way to do so is to hit up the hardware store.
