Morning Class with Michelle Boulé

Feb 21–March 9

T Th 10am-12pm

MR@Danspace Project

131 E 10th St.

This class uses guided improvisations and simple exercises, inspired by Boulé’s studies of numerous somatic and energetic modalities, to find a maximally informed and creative approach to dancing where everyone has space to honor their own unique systems for movement. Class ends with the application of this information to choreographed phrase work.
