The purpose of the “stretch and placement ” class is to re-educate one's body with an interweaving of theory a nd practice on a physical, intellectual, and organic level. The result is a clarity and sureness of movement, and a new level of understandi ng the innate intelligence of the body. It has its roots in 30 plus ye ars of investigating and teaching the essentials for efficient body us e. We work at the level of the bone, not the traditional level of the muscles. In order to move most efficiently it is necessary to let go o f the muscles that hold us back from moving and fix the body into a se t and locked configuration. When the bones are aligned we become conne cted, powerful and strong. The body becomes efficient and alive.\n \n In the afternoon class we will focus on the practice of the principles explored in the morning, working with improvisation and movement expl oration, leading us towards the formulation of an informal performance /showing. The movement will be created by the participants of the work shop. One of the ideas we will work with are various initiations in th e body to better facilitate movement sequencing, becoming both grounde d and free. As the work also focuses on helping each individual studen t work with their own body structure  we will enjoy both a consistenc y and surprise in the our movement.\n \nPERFORMANCE:\nThe workshop wi ll culminate in a performance/showing of the explored material, Friday , November 11th, at 8:30 pm with a group piece of the students.\n \n \n \nBARBARA MAHLER\n \nBarbara Mahler has taught daily classes for 27 years plus, educating and teaching (with, and inspired by, Susan K lein) a generation of dancers. She has traveled extensively around the globe, teaching/performing/choreographing, widely respected and. acti ve in the development contemporary dance technique. Essentially self-t aught, she brings to her classes the perspective, understanding and ex perience of working on her own movement re-education. Barbara was a Mo vement Research artist in residence for the 2000-01 and 2006-08 season , is a movement consultant at Hunter College, NYC, and is on the artis t advisory board of BAX. She is a recent graduate from the MFA program at the University Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She also maintains a private p ractice in Zero Balancing and other healing modalities.\n \n“Mahler , a noted teacher, views dance training as a voyage of self-discovery. Barbara Mahler roots her choreography in distillation, as if she aims to extract the essence of her ideas, making them calmer and purer. Th e image is that of a seesaw in perfect, unwavering equilibrium, a woma n at ease in control.”(Village Voice 2007)\n \nhttp://www.barbarama hler.net\n \n\nFor more information visit http://contemporaryperforma nce.org/events/workshop-a-re-education-klein-technique-as-taught-by-ba rbara DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20111107T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20111111T180000 CATEGORIES:germany LOCATION:Schwelle 7 WEBSITE:http://www.schwelle7.de/Barbara%20Mahler.html URL:http://www.schwelle7.de/Barbara%20Mahler.html CONTACT: ORGANIZER;CN=Jan:http://contemporaryperformance.org/profile/JanBoescho ten ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg": ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN=Jan:http: //contemporaryperformance.org/profile/JanBoeschoten END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
