Course Description:

In this course, contemporary dancer Padmini Chettur describes our simple actions – standing, walking, squatting, running – to more complicated ideas – plies, araimandi, single leg balances, jumps – taking for granted the pivotal idea that a body can connect to ground. Connect, receive energy, generate force which can then be transformed into other movements.
