Developing the Essence - a Felix & Marie Workshop Experience

The title of their class, Developing the Essence, drew me in. The written description was that they would focus on the intention of the body and the idea of polycentrism both solo and partner. That idea—the polycentrism—is what I see in Marie and Felix’s dancing, and they do it spectacularly. Marie embodies the idea of the follow having their own autonomy in the partnership, and Felix “spotlights” her when she does it.
