JUNE 20, 27 & JULY 11 Saturdays, 12:15pm - 2pm All levels are welcome Kim's class builds contact improvisation skills to open the imagination and the body to every dancer's potential. Students explore their individual creativity, balance, and body awareness while learning to move in relation to their self, the floor, and a partner. By sharing weight, strength, space and gravity, participants learn how to trust and be trusted while falling on and off the edges of their bodies. We will explore how the ending of one move is the beginning of another and how to utilize momentum to continue the progressive nature of the dance. Be prepared to sweat, have fun and enhance you dance! Kim Epifano has a 25-year history as an award winning performer, choreographer, director, educator, and collaborator.

 | Project Description: *FLASH REAL* is a new sonic dance theater piece by Epiphany Productions' Artistic Director Kim Epifano in collaboration with Musician Stephen Kent and Aerial Design Artist Richard Kittle. *FLASH REAL* is a song dance cycle in which Epifano performs a scored improvisation based on her life and travels over the last two years. Encompassing both the personal and the worldly, *FLASH REAL* is an internal journey revisiting the terrain of one's life and how the instantaneous shifting of geography affects not just the sediment beneath one's feet but also the sediment of one's soul. Through the weaving of movement, song, light, and image, Epifano explores the residual emotional, social, and political affects from a hurricane in Cape Cod to her work in Ethiopia, India, China, and Ireland. This is the first cycle of four. *FLASH REAL* will be shown as part of the West Wave Dance Festival on Sunday, July 12th, 2009 at 8:00pm. The Festival will be at the Cowell Theater in the Fort Mason Center, San Francisco. Please visit the Festival's website (www.westwavedancefestival.org) for information and tickets. |
