Intro to Floorwork is a class aimed for Intermediate level dancers who have previous dance experience but are new to floorwork, and are wanting to expand their floorwork practice! In this class, we will explore flowing in and out of the floor, finding mobility through strength, and unearthing ease while traversing across the space through the floor. This class will begin with an hour long warm-up and movement breakdown then followed by choreographic exploration of a phrase that plays with the movement worked on throughout the class. We recommend wearing long pants and a t-shirt or long sleeve shirt. I hope to create a space for playful growth where there is room for dialogue, modification, and exploration while we explore floorwork techniques.

What language lives in our bodies? How does breath inform our stories? What happens when we blend our body, breath and language?
In this weekend intensive we will blend the body, breath and language to create dynamic stories that move us. Combining the expertise of local Contemporary Dancer Andrea Parson and From the Ground UP’s Artistic Director Katherine Murphy Lewis, we use the combination of personal narrative and movement through dance and physical theater practices.
Throughout our time together we will dive deep into the process that will help you fully embody your story. Each participant will get to immerse themselves in the process of creating new work through the lens of the body. With approaches that create a unique pathway that leads to risky, personal new work, engaging the whole body.
** NOTE: This process was developed in the rehearsal room during the creation of Andrea’s new work You Can’t Be Serious, directed and dramaturged by Katherine and written and performed by Andrea. After the world premier in fall of 2023 in partnership with BodyVox, currently on tour.
*Open to individuals of all movement backgrounds and levels.
