Morning Class with Anna Azrieli

MWF 10am-12pm

MR@Eden's Expressway

537 Broadway

We will use both improvisational scores and simple set exercises to find awareness, connection, and articulation in our movement. We will learn a phrase and mess with it, by aiming at it and failing at it, following the failure and expanding the success, and by responsive/immersive watching of others dancing it.
