Merce Cunningham technique is a modern dance form blending balletic leg positioning with strong torso movements. It emphasizes five spinal positions - upright, curved, arch, twist, and tilt—to move independently of the legs. Merce developed this technique in order to focus on clarity, rhythm, and strength. The technique encourages dancers to work on spacial relationships and treats the music and dance as independent elements that coexist together.

This Bartenieff Fundamentals worksop will deep dive into the six patterns of Total Body Connectivity - breathe, core distal, body half, upper lower, head tail, and cross lateral. The development of each pattern and how they relate to our neuromuscular system to form movement connections will be discussed. Our goal is to become conscious of these patterns from an understanding of body development and to put that understanding into our creative process.
