ERRIN DELPERDANG — February 13 + 20 + 27
THURSDAYS — 10:00-11:30AM — FIRST STREET STUDIO
ABOUT ERRIN’S CLASS SERIES — SENSATIONAL MOVEMENT:
In this series of classes we will focus on dance as a practice based in and generating sensation. How can dance give us the gifts of sensational awareness, presence in our bodies, and pathways for pleasure? We will start each class with a guided solo improvisation focused on honing sensational awareness. We will build our exploration with exercises that generate movement derived from our felt experience in relationship with the people in the space. Using these tools and ideas, we will continue to explore different dynamics of sensation through phrase work that will build over the three classes. Bring your body and your curiosity!
Errin lives, works, and plays in Austin, TX. She spends most of her time practicing physical therapy, dancing, making art, and being around the ones she loves. She has been dancing in Austin since 1999 when she arrived at the University of Texas dance department as a freshman. In 2015 Errin was certified to teach DanceAbility, an all-ability improvisational dance method. This practice informs much of her work as a dance and movement instructor. She has danced with many Austin dance movers and shakers including Dany Casey, BLiPSWiTCH, Alyson Dolan, Ellen Bartel, Lindsey Taylor, Carolyn Sutton Clark, and Lisa del Rosario.
