This class inquiry is grounded in my extensive investigation into structures and tactics for training the body to go to the edge of the physical experience.
We’ll practice the extreme moment, movement.
Within reason. Within range. Within context.

ACCESS NOTES:
Please note: This is a physical class that involves moving in space with other bodies and sound. It will encourage going to extreme physical limits, with options to move at your own pace, to step back, rest, and observe. Entry: Please arrive on time so participants can engage in the full range of the workshop. Space is limited. Late entry is not guaranteed. Duration: The program run-time is about 1.5 hours total. Restrooms: Our restrooms are gender neutral. An ADA bathroom is available for our guest use in the courtyard, just one door down at Greenwich House Center for Older Adults. Please visit the facilities before entering the elevator to the loft. Exits: The space can be exited via elevator or stairs that take you to Bank street.
