Saturday--
-Taxim & Musicality
Recognize symbols, patterns, phrasing, rhythmic layers, high/low notes & tempo changes then interpret thru movement

.--TRANSITIONS...
Recognize cues in the music and prompts from your body to prompts to help transition smoothly to the next move or sequence of movements. We'll work with movement progressions. It's a more
organic process than you think.

with Meg on clarinet and a few willing workshop participants taking turns keeping the rhythm on a drum or percussion instrument..
...and you know how it goes with taxim... whatever else happens!!
