Windflow dance technique + Improvisation for Performances

Available through Zoom & in-person @ , 3rd floor Loft, 1650 W Foster Ave. Chicago, IL

Ayako will share her somatic and creative routine in order to empty (to be full), strengthen, and prepare yourselves for dance improvisation performances. By building the basic movement skills through the clear alignment, she will raise awareness on how to develop movements. She also takes some questions and share tips to elevate, deeper and expand your skills as performers of improvisation and beyond. These classes are particularly inspired by Ayako’s research during summer 2025 as well as life-experiences of being a dance improvisor for nearly 30 years. Even if you are not considering “Improvisation for Performances,” hope this class will give you some insights for your own art and life experiences!
