As a teacher, choreographer and performer, Erin O’Loughlin is interested in the tension created by dichotomies and how states of controlled precision and chaos can be explored. It seeks clarity that is not confined. Using a combination of structured and improvised exercises focused on alignment, articulation and relaxation, she designs a course that requires versatility, dynamic changes and playful exploration. 

Coming from a rich and diversified training in modern dance, classical dance, and music, his course is inspired by the principles of Limon, Horton, Graham as well as somatic practices, technical release and improvisation based on sensations, to bring an approach to movement and form that is nuanced and free. 

Class Keywords: adaptability, madness, rigor, clarity, fullness, pleasure
