Spaciousness: Movement Workshop with LaMichael Leonard

Choreographer and former Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company member LaMichael Leonard conducts an exploratory movement masterclass focusing on the kinetic relationship between body, breath, and surrounding architecture. Leonard guides movers through somatic exercises, weight shifts, and spatial patterning, drawing on release techniques and contemporary dance methods to unlock expressive depth. The workshop strips away commercial choreography in favor of deep structural awareness, challenging participants to investigate how personal presence shifts within both intimate rooms and vast, high-ceilinged spaces. Open to performers and curious movers alike, the session emphasizes rigorous physical grounding and the conscious occupation of physical and psychological space.
