This 8 class intensive workshop for dancers, musicians, actors and performance artists will explore movement, sound, image and text through entering into the physiology of different fluid states that the body holds as vibration and inner musicality.  We will play with amplifying resonation, tone and sound currents in solo as well as improvising ensemble scores to create a symphony of improvised movement, sound and words. These studies are based on K.J.’s decades of studies. teachings and performing of different somatic, sonic and sensory modalities.     
Students must commit to the full workshop.

The later class, taught by Precious,  will be an introduction to the basics of Lucid Body (physical acting practice)  through a rigorous yoga-based warm-up and exploration of the seven chakra energy centers.  These classes will offer a new path into discovering our full emotional range of expression.

*Students must register for the full five days as the relationship between these modalities are essential to the research and development of these forms.
