Taught by Maureen Glennon

at Bearnstow, on Parker Pond, Mount Vernon, Maine
August 15-21, 2010

Giving in to Gravity is an athletic-based workshop for those who love to move and GET DOWN! Our bodies are constantly subject to the principals of physics such as gravity, force, velocity, acceleration, and free fall. We will explore these principals to develop a greater sense of body awareness and to discover movement that is strong and grounded. Designed for those who wish to develop more strength and stability in their movement, Giving in to Gravity begins each day with a modern/yoga warm-up, followed by explorations of gesture, grounded floor work, inversions, rhythmic phrasing, and speed! During the week we will investigate new movement possibilities through improvisation and choreographic studies inspired by the natural settings of Bearnstow. A collaborative performance will conclude week’s end!
