Class will begin with a simple, yet vigorous led warm-up designed to bring everyone into collective movement. This will lead into improvisations guided by imagery. We will continue by learning sequences of movement embracing the floor to start and ending up in the air. Molly’s teaching is influenced by her training in Butoh, and a wide variety of contemporary and somatic techniques. Her class is built on the philosophy that dance class is a place to come together as a community while also a place to challenge and care for the body.
