Class description: This class is interested in the ethos of working in microgravity, exploring the intersection of virtuosity, risk-taking, and care through structures of collective support and encouragement. We will begin with a group warm up to tune in to the space and the collective and build warmth in our bodies and in the air. We will move through solo, duo, and group improvisatory tasks that help generate the sensation of orbiting and floating. We will finish with phrase work that imagines the sensation of microgravity through suspension, falling, turning, and leaping.
