We believe that it’s important to train together. Our class this summer is going to blow apart the teacher-student dynamic–by working as peers we’ll satisfy the adult dancers’ desire for autonomy. We’re in a unique position to uncover our true appetite for dance. What motivates us to work once the desire to impress our esteemed elders is out of the equation? Perhaps the satisfaction of refining our skills, or of exploring our habits through movement, or simply the kinesthetic pleasure of dancing. The training supports maturing as an artist–instead of waiting for instruction, work in dyads will encourage everyone to more actively participate.

We’re incredibly lucky to have the chance to put our theories to the test.  With GUT Motives on summer hiatus, we’re able to step in and find some answers to our questions.  Another great gift is mentorship from Kathleen Hermesdorf–we’re researching teaching with and expert guide.
