Rebecca Lemme Teaching!

Rebecca Lemme returns to Brockus for class from 8:30-10pm! Just $5 cash at the door! ABOUT THE CLASS: Significantly informed by both Release and Laban/Bartenieff techniques, Rebecca Lemme's contemporary class encourages investigation, problem solving, and versatility. Release technique is a method of movement discovery in which the superficial musculature of the body gives way to essential skeletal mechanisms, ultimately revealing greater dimension throughout the body. Class work involves both given and often improvisational material and will be grounded in the principle that self-exploration is the dancer’s most effective tool of development and is essential to finding authenticity of movement. While designed forintermediate to advanced movers, beginning movers with a deep curiosity are also encouraged to attend. Rebecca Lemme is a choreographer, performer, educator, and visual artist.
