MORNING CLASS WITH JON KINZEL

FRI 10am-12pm

Movement Research, 122 Community Center

150 1st Ave, Ninth Street Studio

Technique/Exercises in Composition is designed to access multiple threads at once such as: greater range of motion and articulation; isolated and momentum-driven movement forms; set and improvised material; sense of scale, space, rhythm, alignment, balance, ascent, and descent; and dancing that supports traversing through space and shifting off center in a mode that reflects a play between athleticism, performance, and a particular disposition.
