In this class we will explore how we relate to the ever-present force that gravity gives rise to. We will discover some of the principles of body mechanics, and awareness, that can through practice allow us to play more softly in the field of gravity, and to feel safer to meet the earth from all angles.
In the words of Nancy Stark Smith: "You can't hold back from the floor, [but] you can guide the descent. The Earth is bigger than you, so you might as well coordinate with it."
(Have a look at this short film tribute to Nancy Stark Smith, containing the above quote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_Ak86YoiR8)
