September 11, 2007: Christina Tague will teach a master class in Shinui. Shinui Martial Dance is an evolution and synthesis of dance, movement, martial and spiritual arts. Shinui is a dance form, which naturally is about movement, about self-expression and about the joy of being in ones body but it is also about learning to know oneself and how to be in relationship with a partner and with a group. By using the dance as a conscious exploration, Shinui provides an opportunity to examine ones expression of self and the dynamic which emerges from the meeting of two individuals. It is practice centered on the art of meeting and relationship. Shinui brings together elements of modern dance, marital arts as well as body-work methods such as Feldenkrais. The influences of these arts upon each other resulted in the softening of the marital techniques, making their applications more creative and open for exploration and gave the dance an organizational intention. Similar to Tai Chi Chuan and Aikido, Shinui Martial dance is an inner practice emphasizing self awareness. |

DESCRIPTION: Join us in our "process." This is our company class/rehearsal process. The first portion of class is a mixed level. As the class progresses it becomes more advanced. We encourage people to come and do as much as they can! The style is 100% dance unique in that it is an "intuited" process that draws from an extensive movement vocabulary. That means, when you come and engage, we are sensitive to who you are in time and space in an interconnected realm. What you bring to the moment informs what emerges in the experience. Our emphasis? You are absolutely perfect where you are in the moment...when you leave class...you will be just that much different, all that more aware. Presently we are engaged in workshoping a new work so expect to not only dance & move, but participate in the choreographic process. 14.0 MASTER CLASS With SUSAN GINGRASSO, CMA, Language of Dance ® Specialist. 15.0 From Chopin to Senegal 16.0 RESTORALISCIOUS/YOGALISCIOUS - your choice 17.0 Danah Bella Master Class
