MOVEMENT RECORD is a movement research practice rooted in layering, deconstructing, and refining. Each class is a space to peel back the layers of conventional expression and move toward a raw, honest articulation of self. We question what makes our dancing feel authentic, and what it means to truly listen to the body.
The class begins with improvisation, gradually building into guided cardio and floorwork to awaken the mind–body connection. Using vivid imagery, we explore sensation, texture, and dynamic modulation as tools to disrupt habit and push the boundaries of expression.
The class culminates in learning a phrase created from my own research—a distillation of the themes and physical ideas explored throughout the session.
The class invites dancers to deepen their physical awareness, choreographic sensitivity, and emotional connection—offering a space where movement becomes both a question and an answer.
