w/ Elliot
A progressive four-week series designed to strengthen both technical form and artistic choice in solo contemporary movement. Through structured warmups, center floor exercises, and set choreography, you'll build foundational contemporary vocabulary while developing the tools to make it your own. In the first 2.5 weeks, we'll focus on learning a piece of choreography as taught, building foundational technique while introducing tools of artistic expression—quality and timing of movement, focus, and intention. In weeks 3 & 4, you'll be expressing your own artistic choices throughout the piece. By the end of this series, you'll walk away with foundational contemporary technique, choreography you can perform confidently without guidance, and the skills to infuse movement with your personal artistry.
