KLEIN/MAHLER Technique »

Monday December 8th - Friday December 12th, 2008

from 12:00 - 15:00 h

« RE-EDUCATION and RESPECT for the body -

KLEIN/MAHLER Technique »

This ongoing class is based on a dance/movement technique that provides the underpinnings to support all styles of dance technique and improvisation. The purpose of the work/class is to re-educate one's body with an interweaving of theory and practice on a physical and organic level. The result is clarity and sureness of movement, and a new level of understanding the innate intelligence of the body. A body of work, it is also a way for dancers to be treated, respected and to be seen as individuals. The workshop is open to all levels, dancers and non-dancers alike.

 

Barbara Mahler, formerly of the Klein/Mahler School of Dance and Movement Studies, taught daily classes for 20 years plus, educating and teaching (with, and inspired by,Susan Klein) a generation of dancers. She is a widely respected dance teacher and choreographer, very active in the development of post modern dance technique. Essentially self-taught, she brings to her classes the perspective, understanding and experience of working on her own movement re-education.  Klein technique, first begun by Susan Klein in 1972, continues to grow and develop with the teachings of Susan Klein, Barbara Mahler, and the outreach of their students.  It is a dance/movement technique that works from the premise that the requirements of movement and daily life are essentially the same. The purpose of the work done in class is to re-educate one’s body, with an interweaving of theory and practice on a physical and organic level. The result is clarity and sureness of movement, and a new level of understanding the innate intelligence of one’s body.  The class is open to all levels, dancers and non-dancers alike. Barbara was a Movement Research artist in residence for the 2000-01 season, is for the 2006-08 season,  is an adjunct faculty at Hunter College, NYC, and a graduate from the MFA program at the University Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  She is also on the artist advisory board of the Brooklyn Arts Exchange.   Barbara was originally inspired by pioneer dance kinesiologist Dorothy Vislocky. She also maintains a private practice in Zero Balancing and other healing modalities.
