Explore your relationship with the floor as an active collaborator in movement at a low level. Beginning with grounding, somatic exercises, we will safely build strength and ease in transitioning to and from the floor. We will develop comfort with bearing weight on body parts other than just our feet. We will investigate yielding, pushing, pulling, rolling and sliding—discovering how the ground can offer stability, efficiency, and new pathways for expression. Class will culminate in phrasework that emphasizes moving fluidly through the floor. 

Socks and pants are highly recommended, as well as clothing that covers the shoulders. Knee pads are optional.
