LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING UP FOR!

Participants will be guided through the class by expert professional dancers and movement practitioners with certifications in strength training, stretch therapy and corrective exercise movement. This means artists will not only be getting training from fellow dancers but individuals who understand the biomechanics how the muscles, joints, bones and fascia work together. This workshop is for any level however we recommend at least three years of dance experience. 

What we will focus on over our three days together: 

CONTEMPORARY AND IMPROVISATION 
A full bodied Modern technique based class that explores spacious traveling movements that integrate level changes, inversions and dynamic airborne movements as one. Stay curious and widen your expressive range through Psychopomp’s improvisational movement techniques and tasks. Take on new qualities, characters and stories within your own movement style in a comfortable, inclusive, free space.  

PARTNERING 
Flex your partnering muscles and explore Psychopomp’s unique approach to partner work. 
Explore our philosophy when it comes to partnering and moving in space with other artists. Learn how to connect each other more deeply than physical touch to build a bond that keeps you safe and give you the confidence to try new partnering skills, linking these movements together and dancing at performance level right away. 

FLOORWORK AND CONDITIONING
A strong and conditioned body and mind are key in Psychopomp’s work. Learn functional strength flows crafted for dance athletes. We'll explore how to strengthen and activate your brain and body together and master new acrobatic and floorwork skills including proper scaling and drills to build confidence over time. 

No acrobatic experience is required! Any dancers welcome to explore and strengthen their acrobatic skills, find more agility and speed in floorwork and feel confident integrating powerful dynamic moves into their own movement style.

CREATION AND PSYCHOPOMP REPERTOIRE 

Tinker with our choreographic tool box! Explore Psychopomp’s specific choreographic tools, techniques and philosophies to crafting new, authentic work. Develop and strengthen your own creative voice by generating your own choreography with other dancers in the workshop, collaboratively building a brand new piece of work together.
