Ayako will share her somatic and creative routine in order to empty (to be full), strengthen, and prepare yourselves for dance improvisation performances. She will raise or also take some questions and share tips to elevate, deeper and expand your skills as performers of improvisation and beyond. These classes are particularly inspired by Ayako’s research during summer 2025 as well as life-experiences of being a dance improvisor for nearly 30 years. Even if you are not considering “Improvisation for Performances,” hope this class will give you some insights for your own art and life experiences!
