For older adults
A big part of our mission is programming with and for older adults. Inverso builds connections across generations in classes, workshops, and performances. This is a beautiful thing that has emerged naturally alongside our intergenerational performance Borrowed Time. We also hosted some intergenerational classes as part of our annual Inverso Summer Intensive this August 2024. It has been inspiring to work with mixed ages and levels from community dancers to professional and Inverso welcomes all curious movers into the space.
Join us for Improv Thursdays, Online Wednesdays or our upcoming performance!

This class welcomes all movers from community dancers to professional.
Class will develop from an internal warm-up to work with improvised interludes to find coordination, balance, articulation and using gravity as a tool. Through sensation-based tasks we will focus on the source of movement initiation, progressively building a sense of momentum to develop coordination, dynamics and freedom of movement while incorporating a somatic approach to awareness and agency. We will progressively work towards expanding the imagined space of your physical presence. Task-based prompts are suggested and each dancer is encouraged to listen to their body regarding range, safety and comfort. Take this class sensitively and/or to challenge yourself, it’s up to you! |
