UP NEXT! Generous Mess 23/25/27 @generous_mess Description of the class: Partnering Pathways & Practice with Generous Mess In this class we will share some of the partnering tools, ideas, and curiosities we use in our company’s creative practice and partnering repertoire . We will start the class with a series of exercises and games to warm up our sensation, listening, weight sharing, and backspace. We will then share some partnering pathways and explore the range of possibilities in each movement by switching both roles and partners. Lastly, we will link together a few of the things we practiced in class. For the sake of the time, we will pick one “role” to learn. If time allows we will try the role with multiple partners and use the phrase of movement as a container for you to explore your own curiosities inside the partnering technique.

Evening Program Pop-Up Class!✨ Practicing Partnering Pathways - For Advanced Movers With Sarah Hutton & Aiden Cass, Co-Directors of Generous Mess 🦋 📍80 Winchester St ⏱️7:30-9:30pm 💲$15-$30 In this workshop we will share some of our partnering tools, ideas, and curiosities we use in our company’s creative practice and partnering repertoire. We will start the class with a series of exercises and games to warm up our sensation, listening, weight sharing, and backspace. We will then share some partnering pathways and explore the range of possibilities in each movement by switching both roles and partners. Lastly, we will link together a few of the things we practiced in class and learn a partnering phrase. We will try the phrase with multiple partners and use the sequence of movement as a container for you to explore your own curiosities inside the partnering technique. This workshop is developed for pre-professional and professional movers who have some existing understanding of pathways in and out of the floor and inversions. Suggested class attire: pants and shirts that cover your shoulders (but are not mandatory). 🎥Video by Russell Lee #eveningprogram #contemporarydance #popup #workshop #partnering #dance #toronto
