DESCRIPTION:
An in-depth practice with BAIRA / MVMNT PHLOSPHY reflex/response methods, contemporary partnering and performance studies. Using different physical tools and games, we will challenge our creative movement instincts; refining our reflexes and becoming more confident in our moving bodies. We will throw, catch, tumble and fly together in a vigorous partnering technique that explores trust, vulnerability and responsibility with the weight we give and receive. This intensive will test our comfortability with the cycle of connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting, allowing us to move through our dance training and our life with greater flexibility and strength.

LOCATION/DATES:
The intensive will be held at the Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre and Dance at Wayne State University from June 27-July 2, 2020. There will be a showcase on July 2, featuring a performance of material and concepts we've been practicing together during the week, as well as works submitted by any intensive participants who want to share!
