Description: This two-day workshop brings together three well-loved and respected Bay Area teachers: Shelley Senter, Sandra Chinn, and Randee Paufve whose work eloquently references the concepts of tension and release. Each teacher will guide students through an exploration of this dichotomy using a different movement language – the Alexander technique, ballet vocabulary, and contemporary modern dance technique. Each day will begin with a 60-minute Alexander Technique class taught by Shelly Senter followed by a 90- minute ballet class with Sandra Chinn exploring the concepts of alignment and efficiency within the ballet vocabulary. The afternoon will conclude with a 60-minute modern class taught by Randee Paufve and focus on learning longer movement phrases and applying concepts and ideas explored earlier in the day.
