On one hand, sessions will focus on movement exploration with an eye toward research. On the other, on technical exercises combined with physical training.
Two main tools will be employed: Touch /Contact to expand awareness, generate memory and stimulate imagination; and Time Manipulation to enrich musicality through devices such as repetition, rewind, slowness and stillness.
Care is given to provide an inclusive, group-learning environment, that offers participants the opportunity to explore the potential and uniqueness of each body in relation to its own autonomy, as well as in function and support of the group.
Body Weather, Release Technique and Improvisation/Exploration will form the methodological basis for the classes.

She works with performers who develop specific movement material, along guidelines that are particular to the individual proposal and devised from her previous research.
The performers and collaborators take on a key, active role in creation.
