TODD STONE

10am - 12pm
Single class: $14
Complete Workshop: $60

In class, we will work towards a powerful fusion of mind and body that is the essence of dance. We will work with concrete ideas of thought and physical action, towards a new wholeness in dancing. Warmup will address structural alignment of the skeleton, joint articulation, the use of weight , oppositional forces in the body, and clarity of movement culminating in a phrase of my own movement vocabulary. Besides his current work with Trisha Brown Dance Company, Todd has been influenced by his studies of th Alexander Technique, Janet Panetta, Body-Mind Centering, Improvisation.
