As performing artists, we need a body capable of expression.This means the ability to respond to the slightest impulse with a clear intention. If our bodies are to be able to resonate with our thoughts, feelings, and actions, our movements and gestures must be balanced, have an economy of force, and flow unencumbered through the entire body.

Through light hearted yet serious work, participants will:

  • Develop an Understanding of Movement Fundamentals.

  • Clarify the Mental Picture of Their Anatomy.

  • Explore How They Move.

  • Explore Gesture.

  • Increase Capacity for Their Expression.


    • This is accomplished through use of digital video analysis, a skeleton, some pictures, an anatomy book, a computer, and ... your body.
