CONTENT // In this class we will tune to our physical and energetic bodies in order to start the day with a sensation of connectedness and groundedness. The class combines gentle practices of movement, awareness, and breath. Expect gentle warm ups and joint strengthening, meditations and energy work in movement, body scans, and playful improvisation. One hour in the middle of the week to freshen up and tune in!
ACCESSIBILITY // This class is open to all abilities and all movement backgrounds, geared particularly towards people who are searching for a creative and meditative physical practice before a long day. Modifications can be made to all proposals, whether that’s to decrease range of movement or loosen proposals for stillness.
BIO // Lara Oundjian is an interdisciplinary dance artist based in Montréal/Tiotià:ke. She trained in contemporary dance, choreography, somatic practices and practiced-based theory in various contexts of Berlin, Stockholm and Montreal. She has presented her work in Montreal at the OFFTA, Tangente, and the Phenomena festival. Lara was a resident artist with the Third Floor at Usine C from 2019-2021 and at La Serre from 2020-2021. Her current solo and duo projects are collaborations in various constellations with Louise Michel Jackson, Nien Tzu Weng, and Maria Kefirova. Lara approaches dance as a practice of relationality, the body as dynamically entangled with its environment through attention and sensation. She researches practices of transmission between internal and external spaces.
Evening classes are open to all levels, and it is recommended to register in advance for one or multiple classes.
