Class info
The key focus points of his class are individuality, body awareness and awareness of the space. The class starts with a series of movements that alternate between awakening the body as a whole and focusing on smaller details and articulations. The class then shifts to a guided improvisation, working with different initiation points in the body, while focusing on the amplitude and frequency of the movements. The class ends with a movement phrase and a body parts roulette.
