SUMMARY:Limón Technique with Aaron Selissen
DESCRIPTION:This class explores the core principles of Limón Technique\, including breath\, opposition\, suspension\, weight and gravity\, fall and recovery. Exercises and phrase work draw from classic Limón repertory as well as contemporary movement. These principles become a lens for exploring movement within and beyond a traditional Limón aesthetic. \nCost: $20\n \n*NEW* The Dance Complex requires ALL visitors to have a Membership\, Guest Pass\, or $5 Day Pass to access the building. \nREGISTER HERE\n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nLimón Technique grew out of the work of José Limón\, who developed his approach to modern dance in the mid-20th century\, building on the teachings of Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman. The technique emphasizes the expressive potential of breath\, weight\, gravity\, and the natural rhythms of the body. Its influence continues through both the preservation of Limón’s repertory and the ongoing exploration of its principles by generations of dancers and choreographers. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nI danced with the Limón Dance Company for many years\, where I trained with Carla Maxwell\, the company’s former and longest-serving Artistic Director\, as well as numerous teachers who had worked directly with José Limón. This experience gave me a deep\, firsthand connection to the technique\, repertory\, and artistic legacy of the company. As a performer\, choreographer\, and teacher\, I continue to explore how the principles at the heart of Limón Technique can inform contemporary movement and offer dancers new ways of understanding the body and its expressive potential. \nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\nI am passionate about teaching this style because its principles offer an endlessly rich way to explore the body\, movement\, and expression. I love how breath\, weight\, gravity\, and suspension can transform movement from a series of steps into something deeply human and alive. These ideas remain relevant far beyond the technique itself. \n\nHow can students learn more about this offering?\nWebsite: www.barkinselissenproject.org\nWebsite: aaronselissen.com \nContact Information\nContact Aaron:\naarons@barkinselissenproject.org
