CrissCross

explore intersections
 

CrissCross is a class approaching technical training through playing with basic movement principles in structured improvisation. We use improvisation scores as tools to explore movement from the inside out — where attention goes, energy flows.

Beginning with shift of weight, rebound, timing, and compensation aka contra-lateral coordination. Once the body and mind are awake, we sharpen qualities such as flow, rhythm, and musicality. Then we cross the two worlds — weaving principles through qualities — so choices become intentional, readable, and personal.

We make time for various plays, and later layer them in partially set movement material: from floorwork to travelling patterns and jumps. The goal is virtuosity through understanding and feeling — a body/mind as an infinite tool — while staying present at the boundary of skill and instinct. Material adapts to individual comprehension, so each artist leaves with their own world enriched, not imitation.

CrissCross is the twin class to HiTec Tools.
