  • HELEN PICKETT (www.helenpickett.com)
         - Saturday, August 1 & Sunday, August 2 from 1:00-3:00pm

         Forsythe-based Improvisation Technique
         In this workshop you will learn the basic foundation of the
         Forsythe technique. I will incorporate the fundamental warm-up,
         intrinsic to understanding the technique, and then move onto
         basic modalities. This particular improvisational technique enables
         each person to access movement, in part, by interpreting their body
         in space - a different version of space! All dimensions of your body
         will be challenged. You will learn to move and not to pose. This
         language is fun to learn, and easy to refer back to because it is a
         technique. In this short time you will have an understanding of
         what the Forsythe Technique is.

         Helen encourages participants to bring a notebook and socks, no bare feet.
         Ask many questions!

         Helen Pickett has taught this class for 10 years all over the world.
