This past weekend in lieu of regular rehearsal, the dancers of MM2 took a master class with Kun-Yang Lin at Philadelphia’s Chi Movement Arts Center in South Philadelphia. Specifically, the group worked on transitions in movement or the “the space in between”.
Through a series of directed exercises, the group re-examined concepts of core and being grounded, while at the same time developing fluidity of movement.
As a prelude to our upcoming season and new collective work “Conversations”, Kun-Yang also had the group pair off to create spoken dialogues while mirroring movement.
Kun-Yang Lin is an acknowledged master of dance and choreography, but he is also an incredible teacher and mentor of dancers. The group found him to be most inspiring. If your are ever able to take a class with him, the experience is more than recommended.
