Weekly Master Class at Gibney

November 17, 2022 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

WEEKLY PETRONIO TECHNIQUE CLASS AT GIBNEY

Thursdays | 4:30pm

SPC is proud to continue with a weekly Petronio Technique class at Gibney taught by SPC Company members!

CLASS DESCRIPTION

Petronio technique is focused on the conscious direction of energy through the body and out into space. These master classes feature technique and creative engagement with Stephen Petronio Company repertory. Class begins with a somatic warmup that focuses on skeletal connectivity and initiation from the far edges of the body. Across-the-floor movement expands on ideas of spatial awareness, rhythm, and sequencing through the spine. Each student is encouraged to find a healthy, open, and fearless mobility within their own body. Complex repertory phrasework is broken down into accessible components, and rebuilt with an emphasis on dynamism, rhythmic precision, and speed. This unpacking of the choreographic process gives students a host of tools for their own work as dancers and dance makers.
