Bound and Flow | Workshop with Josh Martin | DJD

Combining techniques and styles found inside of Company 605's movement vocabulary and working language, and improvisational prompts from current repertoire, exercises are aimed toward building strength and speed, wielding tension and release, and finding groove. Tasks are given to acknowledge the weight of the body, both resting and moving through space, to rediscover instinctual pathways, and to practice capturing and utilizing the natural momentum of body weight to develop connective flow through raw and powerful execution. Participants explore relationship to the floor, articulation and isolation of body parts at changing levels, and inhabiting various physical states, with the class offering multiple techniques and approaches around warping interpretation of time and space within the body to unlock unexpected movement patterning.
