PRESENCE.

pres·ence (przns), n.:
1. The state or fact of being present; current existence or occurrence.
2. Immediate proximity in time or space.
3. The area immediately surrounding a great personage.
4. A person who is present.
5. A supernatural influence felt to be nearby.
6. A person's bearing, the quality of self-assurance and effectiveness that permits a performer to achieve a rapport with the audience: stage presence

What makes us authentically present, and thereby powerful and effective on the stage?

In this class we challenge ourselves to embrace a state of presence in our dance, in all the ways that the definition of "presence" implies. In a safe and supportive setting, we employ theatre and movement technique along with spiritual and emotional self exploration, delving into ways to achieve a fluid oneness and communion with our audience. Dancing on the liminal ground of technical precision *with* spontaneous expression, of control *and* letting go, we allow our energies to flow from the center with joy, wholeness, receptivity, strength, and passion.
