About DLST-Dance Logic Supplemental Training:

“This past semester, Jazz students were further challenged by the technique and principles offered by guest artist in residence, Loren Fletcher. While the foundation was laid during the previous semester’s classes, Fletcher’s students were challenged to advance themselves from a semester of “doing” to a semester of “knowing.” At the end of his residency, it is more than apparent that Fletcher offers a holistic technique through which a dancer can consciously unite mind, body and spirit, and apply even the simplest exercise to any situational or disciplinary setting.”

A little more about class and what to expect:

With the very first exercise of the warm-up, the dancer is called to return him/herself to a place within the body. Beginning with simple breathing and reaching, as the weight of the head carries the body forward and progressing to a series of reaching and contracting from the center while lying on the floor, the dancer is brought back to a self-awareness and a focus on the present. Through these breathing and reaching exercised, the intention is to allow the body to remind the dancer what is needed at that moment, as well as the body will need as the class advances. As the class progresses, Fletcher’s technique explores Adagio combinations and center exercises a dancer may find him or herself executing in any instructor’s Jazz class. Plies, tendus, degages and developes require the dancer to be even further aware of technique in executing these exercises is reminded about translation between the different disciplines in dance as well a In conclusion, the overarching objective of Fletcher’s technique is to provide tools that dancers can use to apply to any academic, professional or personal dance situation. Through encouraging students to draw upon their own individual emotions and experiences, Fletcher’s technique defines dance as a place within each dancer where he or she can find answers to questions, validation for accomplishments and solace during storms of overwhelming emotion. By engaging students in holistically experiencing dance through the mind, body and spirit, Fletcher’s technique forces an awareness in his dancers thathe finds profoundly necessary and provocatively useful.
