Body and Self is a course designed to integrate dance and movement, self knowledge, and knowledge of the body into dynamic balance. Releasing unwanted tension patterns, developing efficient alignment and movement patterns, and discovering a wider range of movement capabilities is both the focus and the intended outcome of the semester's material. Modern dance-based exercises and sequences form the basic vocabulary of movement, but explorations include improvisation and self designed movement sequences, as well.
