Class description:
Yael Flexer will be teaching class throughout the weekend drawing on movement materials from her current and past productions with Flexer & Sandiland, Yael teaches a dynamic release based class. Focusing on skeletal connections and imagery to find a functionality, ease and flow of movement through the body. Classes begin with exploratory improvisation work alone or with a partner and then moves on to formal exercises that build towards driving movement sequences. Emphasis is placed on momentum, inversion and an expansive use of space combined with core strength.
