In-person and Zoom class
BWL has continued to practice on the zoom platform with small group of people that have participating partners in their household (as the practice involves partner work and hands-on interaction).
I’d like to open to larger group of participants with and without partners.

Body Weather Laboratory (BWL) a research forum open to anyone interested in investigating expression through the body within different environments. A demanding attitude toward a thorough reexamination of the body and movement is a main theme in all the aspects of the training.
M.B.
Rigorous mind/body, muscle/bone training; rhythmic and dynamic.
Anatomical body: Muscle/Bone
Strengthen muscle strength and skeleton, develop explosive power and endurance.
Functional: Mind/Body
Strengthen muscle strength and skeleton, develop explosive power and endurance.
Nervous system: *Movement/Brain
The Body/Brain receives and sends instructions in a feedback loop.
*In horology, a movement, also known as a caliber or calibre, is the mechanism of a watch or timepiece, as opposed to the case, which encloses and protects the movement, and the face, which displays the time. The term originated with mechanical timepieces, whose clockwork movements are made of many moving parts.
Body Weather Manipulations
A series of precise exercises concerned with stretching and alignment, touching and being touched, active and receptive. It explores the condition of the body through the sense of touch.
Fieldwork
Explorations designed to sharpen focus and develop the scope of expression through the body. The work encompasses sensitivity training and discovery of movement from images, improvisation practices and cultivates.
Weekly workshops and intensive at the Electric Lodge in Venice, California. Intensive BWL workshops (often incorporating nature and wilderness) have become an integral part of the development of the group and serve to introduce the work to newcomers. In integrating the environment with dance, the dancers become prepared for the sensitivity necessary for site-specific performance.
