SUMMARY:Virtual Elements Dance Class: Adam Benjamin
DESCRIPTION:July 25th\, 2020 Virtual Elements class facilitated by Adam Benjamin\, UK based choreographer and teacher and a pioneer of the professional integrated dance field. Class is at 2.30-3.30 pm CT. This class will have an ASL interpretation. \n \n“Bounded in a nutshell.” These words from Hamlet came to me while thinking about the class and what I might be able to explore. Lock Down has confined us all to greater or lesser degrees; the studio is still out of bounds yet inclusive work has always been about accessing space\, so I wanted to take a look at internal spaces and see where we might go through sensing and imagining the body and space. \nClass fee is donation based from $5-20. You can donate here.  \nTopic: July Virtual Elements Class with Adam Benjamin\nTime: Jul 25\, 2020 02:30 PM Central Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85406570033?pwd=cWh2bkF4SjgrZlQrMWlvdVRZTmd2dz09 \n\nMeeting ID: 854 0657 0033\nPassword: 794475\nOne tap mobile\n+13462487799\,\,85406570033# US (Houston)\n+14086380968\,\,85406570033# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 408 638 0968 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\nMeeting ID: 838 4067 8222\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kxvRqTX7R \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Body Shift Elements Class
DESCRIPTION:The Elements class takes place every 2nd Saturday of the month from 2:30-4:30pm at the Town Lake YMCA in the large group exercise room on the first floor. \nClass will be taught by Amy Morrow. \n//Gaga for All// \nJoin us to experience Gaga/people for the first half of class followed by a Toolbox Session where we will experiment with tools not rules and find each person’s voice inside the movement language. \nAmy will guide participants using a series of evocative instructions that build one on top of the other. Rather than copying a particular movement\, each participant in the class will actively explore these instructions\, discovering how he or she can interpret the information and perform the task at hand. Gaga/people classes offer a creative framework for participants to connect to their bodies and imaginations\, increase their physical awareness\, improve their flexibility and stamina\, and experience the pleasure of movement in a welcoming\, accepting atmosphere. \nNo previous dance experience is needed. Participants should wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to dance barefoot or in socks. It is advisable to bring a bottle of water and a towel for use after class. \n  \nAmy Morrow is an Austin-based teacher\, choreographer\, consultant\, & founder of AM Arts. Certified in 2012 by Ohad Naharin in the inaugural teacher training program\, Morrow travels internationally offering Gaga & Toolbox workshops as well as Ballet & Indian Dance. In 2015\, AM Arts established The Theorists\, a collective of artist citizens who collaborate internationally to produce homegrown art. Their dance\, film\, & music collaborations invited to present in TLV\, NY\, Delhi\, Puebla\, Guadalajara\, Cuernavaca\, México City\, DFW\, Tulsa\, ABQ\, Birmingham\, Huntsville\, Richmond\, Detroit\, & Houston\, and annually in Austin during Theorist Fest. Awards include the 2017 Austin Critic’s Table Award for Best Dancer as well as the Dance Council of North Texas Artful Dance\, Austin Emerging Arts Leadership Award\, Community Initiatives\, CORE\, & Capacity Building funding from the Austin Cultural Arts Division to produce programming for collaborators of diverse backgrounds\, abilities\, & ages. Graduating with a B.F.A. Dance Honors\, Morrow’s senior thesis contextualized multi-disciplinary collaborations cross-culturally under the mentorship of Jesse Zaritt. \n  \nElements is an on-going class in which we study dance and movement improvisation as well as somatics. DanceAbility is our foundational method with which we work to ensure inclusion. It is an equal collaboration and learning environment for every ‘body’ regardless of unique physical or mental characteristics. No gym membership is required to attend. Open to adults age 18 and up; all abilities and experience levels. No registration necessary. Fee for class is on a sliding scale from $5-$20\, cash or check accepted. You can pay the class fee online here. See you at the Y! \nFor more information email Olivia O’Hare or call 512-454-9912.

SUMMARY:Body Shift Elements Class
DESCRIPTION:The Elements class takes place every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 2:30-4:30pm at the Town Lake YMCA in the large group exercise room on the first floor. \nClass will be taught by Tanya Winters. \n//E Pluribus Unum// \nCollective consciousness…hive mind…group mind. Regardless of the term you use\, from ants to bees to humans all living things are stronger when they work together. In this Elements class\, we’ll explore what it’s like to move as a group and how our individuality contributes to a whole. We’ll play with concepts like follow and lead; action and response; and traveling together. We’ll see how these concepts deepen our sense of self\, support us in adding to our movement repertoire\, strengthen our listening skills\, and encourage us to see beyond our selves. \n  \nSimply\, Tanya loves to dance! She enjoys pushing the boundaries of art and disability. She began dancing in 2007 at Austin Community College and has been a regular Body Shift participant since its inception. She has had the privilege of studying with several wonderful dancers including Alito Alessi\, Nina Martin\, Karen Nelson\, and Stephen Koplowitz. Tanya became a certified DanceAbility instructor in 2011. She has participated in many student projects including the Justice Project\, The Way You Move Your Body\, Bodies in Public Space\, and Being/With Others. She has enjoyed dancing in several Body Shift pieces including Crippin’ the Streets\, Your Way of Thinking\, and Echo. She is a co-choreographer of Together and Apart and is currently working on a solo piece called Who am I Now. \n  \nElements is an on-going class in which we study dance and movement improvisation as well as somatics. DanceAbility is our foundational method with which we work to ensure inclusion. It is an equal collaboration and learning environment for every ‘body’ regardless of unique physical or mental characteristics. No gym membership is required to attend.

SUMMARY:Body Shift Elements Class
DESCRIPTION:The Elements class takes place every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 2:30-4:30pm at the Town Lake YMCA in the large group exercise room on the first floor. \n(Note: Only one class in February!) \nClass will be taught by Lauren Tietz. \n//Body as Archive// \nPlease join us for the next Body Shift Elements class where we will dive into fundamentals of Lisa Nelson’s Tuning Scores while we also explore our body as personal archive. As an artist I have been exploring questions about identity\, lineage\, and the ancestors. For this class we will work with solo and group tuning as well as take some time to remember (through movement) what has influenced us\, shaped us\, in palpable and invisible ways. Depending on the group’s interests and the timing of class\, this might involve some writing/speaking in addition to witnessing and reflecting movement created. \n  \nLauren Tietz has been working in various settings from forests in Santa Fe\, New Mexico to the Rio Grande of Big Bend Texas to the caves of Cappadoccia\, Turkey to map and locate the human body in the larger natural world. As a dance artist and filmmaker she has collaborated with many different artists and groups across disciplines along her path. \nInfluenced by the phenomena of the senses\, reflexes\, and myriad survival methods humans employ in response to danger\, safety\, pleasure\, and poetics she sees the body as personal and cultural archive. From this intimate perspective Lauren is curious about how our relationship to our own body might be a window to perceive our larger relationship to the body of the earth. What is heard\, hidden\, forgotten\, saved\, remembered? \nLauren’s collaborations with other artists span from 2001 to today. She is a teacher\, dancer\, experimental filmmaker\, and interdisciplinary artist. She was the founder of the Improvisation Movement Project (IMP) that worked as a collective devising and performing new dance works beginning in 2004. \nIn 2011 she completed her MFA at Transart Institute. Her dance films have been screened at: On The Wall: Berlin Dance on Film Series/ Non Fiction (2010)\, The Not Festival: Curated by Luis Lara Malvacias\, NY (2011) and The 5th International Video Art Festival\, Cuba (2013 – SSFS)\, Big Medium (2015) EAST Austin Studio Tour (2016)\, Blackbox gallery (2017)\, Experimental response Cinema Local Filmmakers Showcase (2017)\, Austin Dance Festival (2018). \nIn addition to teaching classes\, workshops\, and retreats Lauren also has a private practice in biodynamic craniosacral therapy (EarthSkyBodyworks). She works with a diverse group of clients and offers support in rebalancing and healing from various life events and stressful experiences. She appreciates the connections between these two sides of her life: the creative energy utilized to devise new artworks and the creative energy utilized to help people to heal personal and cultural wounds. \n  \nElements is an on-going class in which we study dance and movement improvisation as well as somatics. DanceAbility is our foundational method with which we work to ensure inclusion. It is an equal collaboration and learning environment for every ‘body’ regardless of unique physical or mental characteristics. No gym membership is required to attend. Open to adults age 18 and up; all abilities and experience levels. No registration necessary. Fee for class is on a sliding scale from $5-$20\, cash or check accepted. See you at the Y! \nFor more information email Olivia O’Hare or call 512-454-9912.

SUMMARY:Body Shift Elements Class
DESCRIPTION:The Elements class takes place every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 2:30-4:30pm at the Town Lake YMCA in the large group exercise room on the first floor. \nClass will be taught by Amy Morrow. \n//Gaga for All// \nJoin us to experience Gaga/people for the first half of class followed by a Toolbox Session where we will experiment with tools not rules and find each person’s voice inside the movement language. \nAmy will guide participants using a series of evocative instructions that build one on top of the other. Rather than copying a particular movement\, each participant in the class will actively explore these instructions\, discovering how he or she can interpret the information and perform the task at hand. Gaga/people classes offer a creative framework for participants to connect to their bodies and imaginations\, increase their physical awareness\, improve their flexibility and stamina\, and experience the pleasure of movement in a welcoming\, accepting atmosphere. \nNo previous dance experience is needed. Participants should wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to dance barefoot or in socks. It is advisable to bring a bottle of water and a towel for use after class. \n  \nAmy Morrow is an Austin-based teacher\, choreographer\, consultant\, & founder of AM Arts. Certified in 2012 by Ohad Naharin in the inaugural teacher training program\, Morrow travels internationally offering Gaga & Toolbox workshops as well as Ballet & Indian Dance. In 2015\, AM Arts established The Theorists\, a collective of artist citizens who collaborate internationally to produce homegrown art. Their dance\, film\, & music collaborations invited to present in TLV\, NY\, Delhi\, Puebla\, Guadalajara\, Cuernavaca\, México City\, DFW\, Tulsa\, ABQ\, Birmingham\, Huntsville\, Richmond\, Detroit\, & Houston\, and annually in Austin during Theorist Fest. Awards include the 2017 Austin Critic’s Table Award for Best Dancer as well as the Dance Council of North Texas Artful Dance\, Austin Emerging Arts Leadership Award\, Community Initiatives\, CORE\, & Capacity Building funding from the Austin Cultural Arts Division to produce programming for collaborators of diverse backgrounds\, abilities\, & ages. Graduating with a B.F.A. Dance Honors\, Morrow’s senior thesis contextualized multi-disciplinary collaborations cross-culturally under the mentorship of Jesse Zaritt. \n  \nElements is an on-going class in which we study dance and movement improvisation as well as somatics. DanceAbility is our foundational method with which we work to ensure inclusion. It is an equal collaboration and learning environment for every ‘body’ regardless of unique physical or mental characteristics. No gym membership is required to attend.
