This masterclass is an introduction to Cunningham technique with the lovely Andrea Weber. The class begins with a series of back exercises that we will build on and use throughout the class. The warm-up moves through leg work much like a ballet class but also includes torso movements, spatial awareness and tempo changes. The final movement phrases concentrate on moving boldly and finding rhythmic clarity. This class is rigorous and a great way for dancers to improve their chops.
Classes at the Collective are open to all levels of movers ages 16+. It is highly suggested that you register for in-studio classes ahead of time as we are limiting the class sizes to ensure social distancing. If you arrive and we are already at capacity, you may be turned away.
Andrea Weber was a dancer with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company from 2004 - 2011, performing roles in over 25 works. Andrea is on faculty of the Merce Cunningham Trust, teaching Cunningham Technique® at New York City Center, Barnard College and the Joffrey Jazz and Contemporary Trainee program. She has also taught at SUNY Purchase, Brown University, Skidmore College, the American Dance Festival, ArcDanz Festival, NYU Tisch, ABT Studio Company, Salem State College and Dance New Amsterdam. Andrea has staged Pond Way for Ballett am Rhein and Ballet Vlaanderen, Suite for Five for the CNSMD in Lyon, RainForest for the Stephen Petronio Company, Sounddance at UNCSA, and How to Pass, Kick, Fall and Run for Boston Conservatory. She arranged and staged the Events for the Merce Cunningham: Common Time exhibit at both the Walker Arts Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Andrea has also danced with Coleman & Lemieux Compagnie, Dance Heginbotham, Jessica Lang Dance, Cornfield Dance, Jonah Bokaer, and Charlotte Griffin.
