PHYSICAL DIALOGUES
Wednesdays May 1, 8, 15,22,29 from 6-8 PM at Bombyx
offered by: Daniel Lepkoff
Daniel will draw from his over 50 years of original movement research, as a performer and teacher, looking at reflexive patterns and framing dance as a physical dialogue with the environment. Each class will be a surprise and will have a special focus, drawn from the follow possibilities:
- Body Waves
- Coordination games with walking and crawling
- Interacting with objects: touch and weight, solo, duet, ensemble
- Moving and being moved: partner interactions that focus on center, force, and architecture
- Stillness (The movement of attention): the stand, the anatomical rest position, the activity of doing nothing, stillness compositions in space.
- Breathing: the interaction of the diaphragm with the psoas muscle and the connection to moving.
DANIEL LEPKOFF is a dancer, performer, writer, and teacher known for bringing the process of living movement into the studio and onto the stage. During the early 1970s and into the mid-1980s, he played a central role in the development of both Release Technique with Mary Fulkerson and Contact Improvisation with Steve Paxton.
Over the course of more than five decades, he has looked closely at the interweaving of sensation, perception, and action arising in the body's ever-present interactions with its environment and has developed dance techniques for bringing this material into the body and onto the stage.
As a teacher he is known for his continual invention of original techniques, making direct contact with information, and pursuing questions together with students.
He is one of the founders of Movement Research in NYC. He works internationally and lives on a piece of land in Vermont
