Throughout his experiences in the dance world, Pythos Harris observed that many choreographers and dancers miss an important part in dancehood: physical training. For Pythos, physical training is a crucial phase for a dance artist to understand movement patterns and master their own body. In this workshop, Pythos invites participants to explore movement, find their own body patterns, basic floorwork techniques, acrobatics, and develop body warm-ups according to each participant’s body condition.
This workshop invites participants to learn a core principle of being a dancer: knowing your own body. Mastery of the body will make the anatomy of choreography more mature and ensure the body’s readiness to receive various ideas, data, and intentions in the next stage of creating any work.
This class is open for PUBLIC.
