Marnie Thomos' advanced-professional level Graham class will focus on the contrasting dynamics of breath, spiral, oppositional as well as contraction and release. This 90-minute Master Class will begin with basic warm-up exercises on the floor and standing, and will culminate in a traveling phrase from the repertory of Martha Graham.
