Vocal Exploration: Creating Living Sound
Class Description:
In this class, participants will come together in a circle to create an improvisational symphony of sound with their voices. They explore how to let creative energy flow from inside their bodies (including shadow aspects of their psyche), out through their throat chakra, and then collectively create a living breathing piece of music that holds the power to transform their lives in positive ways. This class offers an introduction into a personal practice one can take with them and practice everyday.

Moving Bodies Dance Class
Class Description:
Our bodies, full of life and movement, are the path and guide for this work. We will examine a particular aspect of our anatomy as a focus for our moving experience. Peering into our body provides a window into the form and function of our structure. Beginning gently, bringing our mind into our architecture and substance, we will encourage a listening body.
Through subtle stretching, touch and simple movement patterns we will play with our dynamic articulation. We will practice somatic improvisation, leading and following the body through a discourse with itself, exploring anatomical and universal pathways of movement. We will approach some movement exercises designed to hone balance, increase coordination and enliven respiration. Often, we conclude class with a piece of choreography, in which we can apply the previous work. No movement experience necessary.
