CLARISSE ROUD

Clarisse is trained in the Limón tradition, Clarisse Roud will give a contemporary technique class based on the key elements of the Humphrey/Limón technique. Students will explore and experience concepts including breath and its influence on movement, the impact of weight on individual body parts, body-part isolations, the dynamism between fall and recovery,and  the natural movement patterns of the body and its relation to gravity. Students are working through the exercises focusing on the feeling and quality of the movement instead of getting bogged down in the steps and exact forms. Clarisse’s commitment is to share a humanistic approach to movement, give a sense of freedom and challenge  to each dancer, whatever their level of expertise, through direct feedback and supportive encouragement.
