Kirstie will give classes in dance improvisation, drawing from her knowledge of
contact improvisation, the Japanes martial art Aikido and her extensive experience
of improvisation in performance. Her focus will be on exploring uninhibitedly
the huge potential of the bodys response to the primal urge to move, inspired
by deep energies released through human interaction, physical challenge and
through the excitement of discovering new territory, new sensations and of
daring to go beyond inherent ideas of limitation. She builds her classes on very
simple physical principles and is always exploring ways for students to experience
and understand their own bodies more profoundly, which is often experienced
as joyful and liberating. The classes offer dancers a way in which they can
extend and deepen their experience of moving.
