This class is centered on pouring weight into the floor, accessing the horizontal plane, and generating power through complex spirals.Rooted in Isak Enquist’s diverse movement background—including Shotokan Karate-Do, Breaking, snowboarding, Graham, Horton, and contemporary forms—the class develops stability as a platform for creativity by exploring momentum, counter-direction, and the efficient transfer of energy through hands and feet to create expansive movement.
This practice emerges from a belief in expanding embodied expression beyond dominant ballet aesthetics. By sharing alternative physical language, this class supports artists to expand their range, encouraging the reclamation of movement, embodiment, and personal expression.
Isak Doran Enquist is a movement artist, choreographer, actor, and experimental sound designer based on the unceded territories of the Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh, Skwxwú7mesh, and xʷməθkwəy̓əm Nations. Originally raised in the Kootneys/Ktunaxa Nation, he began his formal training in Shotokan Karate-Do before pursuing formal dance education.
Isak has performed internationally with Out Inner Space, Shay Kuebler/RSA, Compagnie Vision Impure, Amber Funk Barton, Mascall Dance, Generous Mess, Anne Plamondon, Corporeal Imago, and Cristina Bucci. He teaches at Harbour Dance Centre, Lamondance, Goh Ballet Academy, Training Society of Vancouver, Modus Operandi, and GötesborgOperan among others, and has most recently premiered “Fall(se) Circ(us)” with Little Room Productions.
