‼️‼️Modern MOVES, Workshop: A high-energy, thought-provoking exploration of early American modern dance and contemporary movement practice. Rooted in four interconnected lineages—the Graham/Taylor traditions of contraction, spirals, and spatial tension; Humphrey/Limón principles of fall, recovery, swing, and dynamic texture; contemporary biomechanical and somatic approaches, including Simonson Technique; and the expressive legacy of Anna Sokolow, where movement emerges from emotion and gesture carries narrative meaning. Dancers connect from the inside out, using breath, body mechanics, and articulation to move with efficiency, power, abandon, and expression. Through dynamic floor work, locomotion, improvisational play, and full-bodied movement phrases, students explore weight, balance, speed, direction, phrasing, and spatial awareness while enlivening the senses and building sensitivity to self, space, and community. With a “practice as performance” and “classroom as lab” approach, dancers are invited to experiment, take risks, offer peer-to-peer feedback, and lean into their performing selves. Come ready to sweat, swing, breathe, connect—and discover the joy of moving together.

The workshop will explore movement and some of the classic forms Martha Graham used to create her choreographic legacy. It is a movement class that offers an exploration of the contraction, spirals of the torso and architectural poses used in Graham technique and choreography. We honor her legacy by experiencing and viewing some of her iconic phrases and dance pieces. Open to all levels.

This event is a part of a NYStateDanceForce Project. A performance will be on September 18 at Torn Space Theater.

This event correlates with the centennial celebration of the Martha Graham Dance Company. by @centerpilatesny

Pilates is a climbing exercise. Yes we can get stronger and have more mobility for ease of movement. AND also we can get better at walking up and down stairs and feel more confident bending down to pick up something we dropped! We have one client who has a goal of taking a bath! Being on the challenges. We are here for you. by @centerpilatesny
