Advanced
Movement
with Molly Shanahan
of Mad Shak Dance Company
January 9 - February 27, 2006
Mondays, 9.30am-11am
$12 per class
Shanahan's advanced movement classes stem from her improvisational,
compositional, and pedagogical research, study of the Feldenkrais
Method, mindfulness, and a softening of muscular holding to release
the skeleton for increased expressivity and articulation. Classes
typically begin on the floor and progress to longer movement sequences
that involve greater shifts of weight, balance, and interconnected,
whole-body gestures. Shanahan stresses an attention to gravity and
flow, with poly articulation of the body's spirals in harmony with
space. Shanahan's classes move gently but quickly, challenge students'
memory and spatial harmony, and often encourage repatterning of
students' assumptions about the body, technique, strength, and efficiency.
