In this class we will share some of our partnering tools, ideas, and curiosities we use in our company’s creative practice and partnering repertoire. We will start the class with a series of exercises and games to warm up our sensation, listening, weight sharing, and backspace. We will then share some partnering pathways and explore the range of possibilities in each movement by switching both roles and partners. Lastly, we will link together a few of the things we practiced in class. If time allows, we will try the role with multiple partners and use the phrase of movement as a container for you to explore your own curiosities inside the partnering technique.

This workshop is for pre-professional and professional dancers who have an existing understanding of pathways in and out of the floor and inversions.

Please note: Participants need to be comfortable giving and taking weight and be willing to switch roles and partners.
This workshop is open to advanced and professional dancers.
