SUMMARY:POP IN / POP OUT: Beginner/Open Level Contemporary Partnering with Ilyana and Iverson
DESCRIPTION:Beginner/Open Level Contemporary Partnering is a partnering workshop rooted in touch and improv. We will take a non-gender focused approach to partnering rooted in mutual weight sharing between both parties. This class is available to dancers who have worked together before as well as those looking to get into partnering. (feel free to come without a partner!) \nClass will begin with a brief warmup\, followed by dedicated time to pair up and discuss consent with your partners before we move into the partnering portion of class. We’ll move and groove together in a guided touch-based improv session before moving into a series of set exercises based in weight sharing\, designed to gain trust and comfortability with your partner. Feel free to bring a notebook\, as we’ll take some time mid-workshop to share our thoughts. We’ll end class with a final combo and another opportunity to reflect and share our thoughts and feelings!\n \nIlyana Carlee (she/her) \n\nOriginally from Dayton\, Ohio\, Ilyana Carlee is a performer\, choreographer\, and teacher in San Diego. Since a young age\, she has trained at various studios\, her most influential training being under DeShona Pepper Robertson at Stivers School for the Arts. Ilyana continued her dance training and choreographic exploration at Howard University\, earning a BFA in Dance. Since moving to San Diego in 2023\, she has trained at DISCO RIOT\, Malashock Dance\, and San Diego Dance Theater\, and has performed with DISCO RIOT\, San Diego Dance Theater and NACHMO. Most recently\, she was an intern in the (R)Evolution Artist Program with DISCO RIOT\, and is currently a founding collaborator with Negative Space Dance Collective. Her art is deeply influenced by her experiences as a Black woman. She is inspired by both her ancestral lineage and surroundings\, creating work inspired by love\, grief\, community\, and the Black experience. \nIverson “Nosrevi” Harding (he/him) \nIverson “Nosrevi” Harding has been moving and creating through physicalization for thirteen years. He is trained in an abundance of styles not limited to ballet\, modern\, contemporary\, tap and hip hop. Graduating from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle\, WA circa spring of 2024 he has evolved in his personal style which is a mixture of hip hop\, contemporary and tap dance. His movement has a melancholy yet sharp qualities that excite the satisfaction factor made in one’s eyes and brain. His teaching style is based more on having an understanding of the music so therefore he can translate the quality of movement better and if that doesn’t help\, he’ll try and find a hundred other ways to get you to succeed.

SUMMARY:LAB: Taichi (Open Level)
DESCRIPTION:This is an open level class which focuses on exploring key concepts and theories of Taichi (太極). Inducted as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020 by UNESCO\, this ancient Chinese martial art dates back 2000 years and is widely practiced today as a health exercise. Students will explore foundational concepts like silk pulling/reeling(纏/抽)\, sinking (沉)\, and relaxing (松). Along with Xingyi (形意) and Bagua (八卦)\, Taichi is classified as one of the three main internal martial art styles. These three styles focus on power generation through proper postural alignment and strong stance work. Students will also learn about how health and medicine tie in with Taichi and the importance of Qi (氣) cultivation. \nThis class is tailored for dancers\, movers\, and anyone interested in learning more about Taichi theory\, culture\, and history. \n*Recommendation: Students should wear comfortable clothes and bring water. Shoes are optional for this class (low-soled shoes are recommended if students do decide to wear them).\n \nMATTHEW TAY\nAn American Born Chinese (ABC) raised in the San Gabriel Valley in LA\, Dr. Matthew Tay is a movement and martial arts educator. Holding a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) and an alumni of UCSD Dance\, Matthew explores movement through the intersection of medicine\, martial arts\, and dance. His passion for Taichi stems from his journey to find his cultural heritage and roots. As a former USA Wushu Team member\, Matthew still continues to compete semi-professionally but has shifted more to teaching. His goal is to share his knowledge of Taichi and Wushu and provide depth and nuance to these artforms.
