Community Workshop: Open to all – no Duke affiliation required!
“At the beginning of the class, we will use Tai Chi Dao Ying to warm-up, and get blood flowing, particularly to the joints. Tai Chi Dao Ying is also a type of moving meditation, which allows us to bring our body and mind to the present, preparing our focus for the class. After the warm up we will introduce Butoh materials and use these as the basis to fully develop our imagination. In the imaginative session, we use the body as a vessel to communicate and transmit information, allowing for autonomy and improvisation in each exercise. Through this class you will focus on improving muscle capabilities and spatial imagination so that the body can transmit information more effectively.
All levels.
