Class Description: Technique/Moving/Changing/Thinking
Pamela Pietro’s teaching exists to widen the physical range and mental awareness of dancers’ technical capabilities. Pamela’s thorough anatomical knowledge and principles of alignment lead to full physical charge underlaid in release and response, incorporating floor and upper body that leads to the expansive movement phrases explored across the floor.
The class is pure physicality by designing the body in space through positive motivation, clear detail, initiation, follow-through, focus, and intent while exploring varied spatial directions within the environment. There is no forcing, only a space for individual learning through process and practice.
We work to deepen the awareness of an embodied physical practice that encompasses the work of deepening, lengthening and reorganizing the “physicalness” of being in space.
