MOVING LIFE
This class may be for you if you are interested in dance as a means to move, think or feel more freely. Moving Life offers a supportive and inclusive environment to cultivate your physicality, practice improvisation, and connect to yourself and others through embodied creative process.
We will begin with introductions and a warm-up, and transition into moving meditations and improvisation skills, including spatial directions, dynamics and imagery. As the class progresses, you will be guided through specific creative scores as individuals, with each other, and in relationship to the world around us.
This class is not about learning "moves" or steps, or doing it “right". Instead, we approach movement as an exploration of inner landscape, as a way to sensitize ourselves to life, and as a method for discovery, actualization and fun.
*Class activities will be adapted to suit participants wherever possible, and participants are encouraged to take care of their own comfort and safety.
All are welcome!

About Heather
|
Heather synthesizes her experience as a performer, maker and facilitator with somatic and expressive arts approaches to support dance-based exploration. Curious about the idea of authenticity in performance, and about creativity as an act of transmission and transformation, her workshop approaches aim to gently enrich the excavating/generating/discovering process, and serve artistic intelligence.
Heather has performed works by William Forsythe, Crystal Pite, Ohad Naharin, Marina Mascarel, Lucinda Childs, and others; she has worked as a creative assistant/rehearsal director to Rachel Meyer, Lesley Telford and others and has made numerous works of her own; she is completing the Tamalpa Institute’s Teacher Training program and has led creative process workshops locally and in Singapore and Taipei. Heather gratefully resides on unceded Coast Salish territory. |
