Videography by Jamie Buchanan
I view my class at the intersection of Modern and Contemporary dance techniques, utilising release and recovery explorations in the body that can be translated while moving in space upright or on the floor. The class begins with structured exercises to warm up our bodies and minds, awakening the spine and allowing the warmth to radiate outwards. We will dance on the floor, upright, through space, and upside down. The class typically ends with movement vocabulary from my ongoing choreographic research. At the heart of my class is the joy of movement mixed with the urge to push through your own physical and mental barriers.
