In Dara’s class, we will explore real and imaginary resistance and distance, we will revel in what we don’t know, and in rediscovering what we do. Spatial awareness is a priority as class is rigorous, musicality-focused, and filled with floorwork. Be prepared to remind yourself that a successful class is a group effort, and that rigor is a personal definition. REGISTER/INFO

This contemporary technique class draws from modern and post-modern lineages (including Limon and ballet) while focusing on how you move, not just what you execute. Class begins on the floor to build awareness of weight, support, and connection within the body. As we move into standing and traveling through space, we explore alignment, physiology, rhythm, and dynamic flow. Improvisation and structured phrases are integrated throughout, offering space for curiosity, adaptability, and creative choice within a clear technical framework. This class is for dancers who want their training to feel more alive, responsive, and embodied, while still engaging rigor and form. This is a weekly contemporary practice held for artists ready to show up for themselves, take space, and engage without expectation—attendance is secondary to presence and integrity. Callie Chapman is a dancer and choreographer based in Somerville. She has performed and toured with Prometheus Dance for over 20 years and [...]

Butoh is an avant-garde movement form first performed by Japanese artists Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno in 1959. Originally conceived as an iconoclastic rejection of contemporary western dance technique, butoh aims to strip away socially acceptable movements and gestures, and encourages students to find and embrace hidden movements that lie buried beneath years of conditioned behavior. In this Moving Target class we will incorporate fragile and vulnerable contexts of the body to explore the “materiality of being.” The class will begin with a somatics-based warm-up, partnering work to explore skeletal, muscular, and fascial layers of movement and energy exchange, and vigorous floor work. Finally, we will utilize butoh-fu, a method of choreography using image-based poetry as grounds for movement generation in brief witnessed improvisations.

 Un taller de danza y movimiento libre Este taller es una invitación a reconectar contigo mismo y con los demás a través del movimiento, la escucha y el juego. El taller inicia guiando la atención hacia nuestro interior: observar el cuerpo, sus sensaciones, impulsos, ritmos y deseos más reales de comenzar a moverse. En lugar de intentar producir movimiento o hacerlo “bien”, creamos las condiciones para que el movimiento surja de manera natural. Poco a poco, permitimos que el cuerpo nos sorprenda y descubrimos un movimiento espontáneo, propio. Desde esta exploración individual, abrimos nuestra atención hacia los demás. A través de experiencias de movimiento sencillas, practicamos escuchar, responder, proponer y crear juntos. La risa y el juego se convierten en herramientas de conexión que ayudan a soltar el juicio y a abrirse a la espontaneidad. ¿Cómo puedo mantenerme conectado conmigo mismo mientras escucho a otra persona?, ¿Cómo pueden dos o [...]

This workshop explores real-time composition through the interconnected practice of body, time, space, and listening. We begin with the body — not as an instrument that simply executes movement, but as a living, thinking, sensing organism. Through individual exploration, dancers bring attention not only to weight, breath, and articulation, but also to impulse, imagination, and playfulness as tools to free the body and mind. From there, we explore time as compositional material. Time is not limited to speed or musical rhythm: it can expand, contract, accumulate, suspend, repeat, interrupt, or remain still. Dancers investigate their own temporality while learning to perceive and respond to the multiple rhythms and durations that coexist within a group. Space and all its elements are alive and in constant dialogue in our practice: direction, air, light, sound, temperature, and even emptiness become active elements of the composition. Dancers practice reading what is already happening in [...]

Originally conceived as an iconoclastic rejection of contemporary western dance technique, butoh aims to strip away socially acceptable movements and gestures, and encourages students to find and embrace hidden movements that lie buried beneath years of conditioned behavior. In this Moving Target class we will incorporate fragile and vulnerable contexts of the body to explore the “materiality of being.” The class will begin with a somatics-based warm-up, partnering work to explore skeletal, muscular, and fascial layers of movement and energy exchange, and vigorous floor work. Finally, we will utilize butoh-fu, a method of choreography using image-based poetry as grounds for movement generation in brief witnessed improvisations. Dancers at all movement levels are welcome to participate. Email: [email protected] to sign up $10/class

Butoh is an avant-garde movement form first performed by Japanese artists Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno in 1959. Originally conceived as an iconoclastic rejection of contemporary western dance technique, butoh aims to strip away socially acceptable movements and gestures, and encourages students to find and embrace hidden movements that lie buried beneath years of conditioned behavior. In this Moving Target class we will incorporate fragile and vulnerable contexts of the body to explore the “materiality of being.” The class will begin with a somatics-based warm-up, partnering work to explore skeletal, muscular, and fascial layers of movement and energy exchange, and vigorous floor work. Finally, we will utilize butoh-fu, a method of choreography using image-based poetry as grounds for movement generation in brief witnessed improvisations. Dancers at all movement levels are welcome to participate. Email: [email protected] to sign up $10/class
