Technical classes

The contemporary dance technique class is composed of Limón technique material and ballet principles. Dancers are called upon to develop a balance between strength and freedom, a release of ballistic weight in movement, clarity of impulse in proprioceptive space, and a relationship of intention to scenic space through form and gaze. In this work process, technique is defined as the preparation of the body for a dynamic and creative state, and the appropriation of tools to physically articulate the performer's artistic contribution according to his or her choices.
