Application Deadline is 06/05/2020
Come prepared to act, clown around, dance, and be like a baby or a bear, and you will learn how your brain and body inform your behavior. In this 10-hour, four-day course, we investigate our movement in relationship to our personalities, our interactive style, and unique surrounding conditions. We practice skills that we might have missed or never fully mastered such as moving with agility along the floor, and quadrupedally on hands and knees, or hands and feet and explore how these skills relate to everyday posture and walking as well as practicing dance, martial arts, physical theatre, and yoga. Featuring guest lecturers Deirtra Hunter, Andy Warshaw, and Drew Leder.
