idioSomatics

As part of our community initiative, idiosynCrazy productions offers idioSomatics, a FREE contemporary movement class. This is an open, professional level dance class in which we will take our bodies to extreme places. In idioSomatics, we explore INTENSE physical movement and how it relates to psychological/emotional energies. This class is perfect for anatomy/physics geeks, tireless movement lovers, and daring performers. We\\\’ll think, we\\\’ll feel, we\\\’ll sweat… a lot… Step aboard for this journey to the extreme.

idioSomatics is about opening up the body and activating all of the senses to heighten our responsiveness to our dance/performance experience. We identify the physical forces acting on our bodies in movement at a given time, and decide how much control we will exert over this, how out of control we will allow ourselves to become. We clarify and manipulate the energy that we create ourselves. We examine how we partner with the environment (the floor, the walls, other people). And we use energy and focus to connect ourselves with our environment and the people with whom we share the experience. Our goal is to create a deeper sense of performance in the body, in the energy. Our goal is to have a full, authentically communicative experience; with our classmates, with ourselves.
