Sarah Chien teaches Flying Low Technique
THIS CLASS FOCUSES ON DANCERS' RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FLOOR.
From Sarah Chien:
Flying Low reveals our bodies’ efficient, spiral pathways for going into and out of the floor. We will work through short phrases that are like little puzzles for our bodies to solve. Together these practices help us to transform our bodies, the group and the space in which we play.
Rooted in the work of David Zambrano, we will research ways of directing our energy through space dynamically and creatively WITH other humans. We will warm up with qigong and principles from Passing Through, awakening the reactivity and connection between floor, feet, hands, and body center. Training doesn’t culminate in choreography, but rather progresses through solo and group investigations. How can we each become a conduit between earth and sky, one person and another?
I teach class when I crave collective training- it's time we get back into it, together! This series will focus on Flying Low, because I want to MOVE and regain stamina and precision and joy. I will share: frameworks for investigations into walking/running/spiraling/sliding; specific pathways for moving efficiently in and out of the floor; tools for sharing yourself fully in unpredictable spaces.
Recommended Experience:
Open level, for folks with an existing movement practice. Expect to move repeatedly through a full squat, and to move quickly. However, most folks are new to this work and most all of us are out of practice- come challenge yourself!
