Judith Sánchez Ruíz

Functionality & Perspective in Dance (release).
2 hours (mornings)
These tech morning classes are based on more than ten years of investigation of Judith Sánchez Ruíz on the release technique. Participants will focus on the importance of being grounded, understanding the shifting of weight, clarity of movement, attention to detail, precision, and dynamics in a multidirectional approach. This practice will lead to very specific qualities of functional and organic movement while working with the imagination and improvisation within. Functionality and Perspective give the dancers many ways to understand movement’s initiation in the body, allowing them to understand the functionality from a creative approach. These sessions will encourage the body to question and practice task-oriented exercises, equations, and scores.
