ABOUT THE PROGRAM

11-Week Closed Group Series

This 11-week series is an invitation to perceive your body, your surroundings, and the ways you connect with others. Working in a consistent, closed group allows us to build trust, community, and a shared movement language over time.

We explore sensation, texture, and improvisation—staying with feelings as they arise in the body, without needing to explain them. We search for movement, expand and exaggerate it, and practise choosing the pace that feels right. We learn how to rest without quitting.

Each class follows a clear arc: beginning with guided improvisation and sensory activation; moving into technical floorwork and standing sequences; then developing phrase-based material that brings these elements into a dynamic flow. We may also use playful tools, such as a tennis ball, to practise coordination, responsiveness, uncertainty, and new neural pathways through unpredictability.

The series gently blends Israeli improvisation practices inspired by Gaga, ballet, and floorwork with creative phrase-building. Layered tasks accumulate over the 11 weeks rather than replacing one another, supporting deeper coordination, adaptability, and new movement possibilities. Throughout, the body is both the guide and the mediator.

Exploratory yet precise.
Sensory yet athletic.
Grounded yet spacious.

While we encourage participants to attend consistently in order to support the group’s development, missed classes can be made up in another suitable group, subject to space and availability.
