This day-long workshop will focus on three common areas of concern for dancers.
- Dynamic extension of the knee (towards a straight leg)
- Weight bearing leg versus free leg (two limbs doing different tasks)
- Balance (the various contributing systems)
Participants will address these issues through lectures, experiential studio work, and targeted movement phrases. By better understanding these topics and how they relate, dancers will also discover how to release their upper bodies and senses, enabling access to enhanced levels of expression.
Pat Miner and Darryl Tracy are both faculty members of the School of Toronto Dance Theatre. As colleagues, Miner (highly acclaimed dance teacher & 2004 DanceOntario award recipient) and Tracy (dance artist and physiotherapist) have been collaborating for several years in their approach to dance training. Sharing their combined expertise, they have developed innovative ideas about class work and supplemental training.
Sessions involve practical components, so participants are asked to bring comfortable clothing/dancewear.
A light lunch will be provided.
