Just touched down in Colorado! am thrilled to be teaching a partnering master class tomorrow at Ormao Dance Company! Really excited to dance out west and start a new creative exploration. Thank you Jan Johnson, Laura Hymers Treglia, Tiffany Tinsley Weeks for connecting me to Ormao. Looking forward to it all! Let’s dance!
In collaboration with Tiffany Mills Company, Ormao Dance Company presents an in-depth exploration into partnering, improvisation, and the company’s creative process. We dive into weight, space, gravity, and momentum as tools to fly. We push boundaries, test extremes, and enjoy falling, in pursuit of finding a rich language and meaningful journey.
Saturday, February 18 | 11:00am-12:30pm
10 S. Spruce St. Colorado Springs, CO
Cost: $25

Tiffany Mills’ partnering class begins by bringing attention to our internal environment, working primarily with imagery and breath. From here we focus on tools to access weight, space, gravity, and momentum. We hone and sensitize ourselves to various qualities and states by bringing awareness to the layers of our body (skin, bone, muscle, organs, etc). Special attention is directed to our senses, heightening all five, to become better at listening and dialoguing through movement. We demystify partnering by looking at the structural basics in the roles of basing and flying. Our progression into weight-bearing duets includes delving further into anatomical structures, destabilizing movement habits and assumptions, while recognizing and nurturing different personalities and individual predispositions. We encourage risk-taking and welcome unfamiliarity. Class culminates with physically robust partnering improvisations where students can draw upon their experiences throughout the class. We actively straddle the line between conscious, intellectual engagement, and abandonment, making space for movement and interactions that surprise and resonate.
