We will dive into exploring how the physical skillsets we already know can expand through indulging in the range of our senses, the energetic circumferences of our bones, noticing emotions and tapping into imagination. Can imagination guide us to inhabit our bodies of knowledge and generosity? This leads us into dreaming the body and the extensions of our bodies as a way of expanding and exceeding the physical body. This warm up will invite us to dive into perceptual possibilities of what it feels like to awaken and develop our imagination as a way of bridging the unconscious to the conscious. Can imagination guide us to dream our ancient bodies of otherworldly wisdom? We will work on enhancing personal suppleness and virtuosity through short improvisational duets, tuning into the perception within the group, and utilizing the group's intelligence.  <span fr-original-style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#221f20;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;color:rgb(34, 31, 32);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">This class will include some physical contact as part of the exploration.  <span fr-original-style="font-size:14px;font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(34, 31, 32);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit;" style="font-size:14px;font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(34, 31, 32);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">Teacher Description:<span fr-original-style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#454545;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size:9pt;font-family:&quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;color:rgb(69, 69, 69);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Arash Khakpour (آرش خاکپور)<span fr-original-style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#454545;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size:9pt;font-family:&quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;color:rgb(69, 69, 69);background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> is a dancer and choreographer from Tehran and based in colonially known as Vancouver. Arash has been practicing dance and performance for the past 14 years and has been a company member of the EDAM ensemble since 2017. He tends to invest in the nuances of prejudices in the body as a way of inviting the unconscious to the conscious, and as a doorway to confront unknown emotions. He sees dance as a process of physical, emotional and spiritual discovery and a mode of transformation. He works with dance as a language that researches the human condition through mythical, historical, social, political and existential interpretations. As a first-generation immigrant, he continuously considers what healing he can bring to the land and communities he works with.
