Each day will begin with a 1 ½ hour technique class exploring the energy, articulation, quirkiness, and musicality that characterizes Katie’s unique style. The remaining hour and a half will be spent exploring phrasework generated by the participants. This time is intended as a choreographic laboratory for those interested in deepening their fluency with basic choreographic tools, as well as for more experienced choreographers looking for a supportive and dedicated space within which to further imagine and experiment.

Nina Haft and Mary Armentrout team up to co-teach a summer
intensive workshop! Join us as we explore how the Feldenkrais Method
can support your contemporary dance technique. Nina Haft teaches
contemporary dance drawing upon aspects of Limon and Release-based
techniques, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and martial arts. Mary
Armentrout is a practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method, a wide ranging
system for understanding how human beings function, and learn how to
learn. Using the body as our primary laboratory, Nina and Mary will interweave elements of these two approaches to deconstructing and
re-imagining the body in motion. Together we will explore how very
subtle changes can fundamentally alter and refine all the movements we
do. Enhance awareness, release inefficient patterns, tension and pain,
and increase your sense of flow as a mover. This is a wonderful
opportunity for advanced dancers working in any style to bring greater
felt understanding of how their body is constructed, as well as greater
ease and articulation, into the execution of their movements.
*Prior Feldenkrais experience is a plus, if not please speak with Mary
