Dance Class: Cultivating a Solo Practice
Dance Class: Cultivating a Solo Practice
A three hour workshop to tune into our bodies, explore our personal movement vocabularies, and create small solo dances in our own spaces
THIS IS THE RECORDING OF A CLASS THAT HAPPENED LIVE ON SATURDAY APRIL 9 2022
This class recording refers to times where there is active movement from participants who took class live. In the recording you will not see the group dancing, you will be seeing Cody facilitate class.
➡️ Tend to your body in a way that is right for you and your space
➡️ This class has no choreography, no moves to learn : all of the movement is generated from YOU
THIS CLASS IS FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO DANCE, WHO WANTS TO DANCE MORE OUTSIDE OF THIS THREE HOUR WORKSHOP, WHO WANTS TO ACCESS MOVEMENT AT HOME
🌷 DANCE CLASS 🌷
We will warm up and feel free
We will write look within
We will make tiny dances and MOVE our bodies
We will film ourselves
We will check in
ABOUT CLASS : Cultivating a Solo Practice is a class aimed for the pedestrian, the dancer, the person, the chef, the herbalist, the writer, the artist, the outcasts, the freaks, the ones who are at home and thinking : I want to move my body. You could take this class laying on your bed, staying seated, using high energy movements, going in slow motion. You can close your eyes and just listen to whatever music we listen to and do the writing prompts. This three hour workshop is the first time I am bringing my signature course to the digital sphere. After hosting improvisational dance workshops across the country and a three day site specific workshop in Upstate New York I am thrilled to bring this work to the zoom room. Guided by ambient sounds we will warm up and find where our body wants to be in space, access whatever we need that day, and move into finding our own movement phrasing and pace. This class is for those who have no dance experience and those who are seasoned improvisers. Through a series of prompts and scores we will create small dances in our own spaces, crafting beginning middles and ends, using props and furniture to set the stage. We will end class with a free form dance party to pop music because that is how I like to end a day

DISCLAIMER
It is important to remember I am facilitating as an artist and a dancer, not as a therapist or someone trained within modalities of mental health. Whether you are neurodivergent, ADHD, have a mood disorder, chronic pain, etc: What this means is you'll have to take what you like and leave the rest! Not everything will work for every person, this course will, however, empower you to move your body in any way that you see fit. By signing up for this class you are taking responsibility for whatever tools you might need to bring to the table to care for yourself during class while I facilitate as your dance teacher
