Movement Lab is a place for anybody (yes, I mean anybody) who can, want to or need to move their bodies in a way that feels good to you and only you.  I like to create this type of setting for you to come in, close your eyes and connect to your chi (breath, spirit, life force, prana, the thing that lives in all of us that makes us ALIVE) and to move with it.  There is no right or wrong way to move in movement lab.  This is about you.  Your chi.  Your body.  I’ll give guidelines, suggestions, tasks, considerations, invitations, but at the end of the day, it’s about giving you the opportunity to express what is moving through you through movement.  And then, we get to connect to each other too!  Yes, hands-on energy/body work (that feels like you’ve just stepped out of the spa), intuitive contact (where you talk to each other without words or facial expression, just with your body) and partnering fun (we play with space, the floor, music and most importantly, EACH OTHER!).  Come and try it out.  You can do no wrong.
Class focuses on movement improvisation based on stillness, instincts, imagery, breath, partnering and flow to nurture creative freedom through story-telling with the body.  A great place for dancers, actors, performers, body-workers and any creative artists.

YAY MOVEMENT LAB!
“I have taken several theater and movement improvisation classes and I can say that Chien-Hwe’s Movement Lab classes are unique.  Chien-Hwe has the ability to adjust to the level of each student taking the class and to develop a valuable experience for everyone in the class.  Movement Lab also incorporates three elements – freedom of movements, introspection of the inner body and its impulses to move and space awareness – that are critical to dancers, performers and human beings evolving in current society. I would gladly take this class again and it would be better if the class were in the evening.”
 – Mae Paillet

Call to Artists – Soul Sessions VIII Out of this World / Apr 20

Since Soul Sessions VII had such an incredible turn-out for such a tiny space, I’m going to start booking for Soul Sessions VIII now! DSC_8156
So.
Call to Artists
Recruiting performers to share your work in a safe, fun and creative place.  I’m calling all freaks, word geeks, performers, poets, musicians, movers, shakers, actors, risk-takers, dancers, singers, rappers, hip-hop artists, tappers, anyone out there who has something to say in your own way, which is, let’s face it, ALL OF US.
Be Part of the Show
Email chienhwe@gmail.com with a 5 sentence statement about what you are sharing – genre, length, props, music, content.  You may share a short video if you have it as well.  I will need to receive all of this material by Friday, April 11th.  You will then get a confirmation email about your performance.  There are a few more slots open for April’s session, so hurry on up!  There will be another session in May.  Date TBA.
Be part of the Crew
If you don’t feel like sharing, then get involved in the party anyway and watch fresh performance live, up close and personal!
Set-up crew – set-up stage lights, couches, chairs, furniture moving
Music crew – set-up sound system, speakers, prepare and play playlists for breaks
Party crew – drinks and food
Video crew – taking videos of each performer

IMG_7243

For those of you who have taken any incarnation of any of dance or movement classes before, this is by far my favorite one. Why? Because it’s a blend of the best of all of my moving, dancing worlds into an hour and a half of relaxing into your bodies, connecting to your core, working smart, having fun and getting creative with my original choreography.

We sweat.
We laugh.
We dance.

Class is held on Thursday from 11:00 – 12:30pm in studio 2 Dance Complex. Drop-ins are welcome. All levels welcome.

Thursday, April 3rd @ 11am – 12:30pm
Thursday, April 10th @ 11am – 12:30pm
Thursday, April 17th @ 11am – 12:30pm
Thursday, April 24tg @ 11am – 12:30pm
