You live on a giant sphere, learn how to manipulate one in ways that will impress your friends and confuse your enemies. Students will get in touch with their sense of touch and muscle memory. We will explore the contours of the body, control points, and using the least amount of energy possible to get the sphere to do what you want. We will use both sides of the body, (cross lateral movement), which strengthens the neural pathways in the brain. We will practice good breathing and posture, visualization techniques, and even play blindfolded. We will learn the basic building blocks of these techniques: Hand Rolls, Stalls, Isolations, and body rolls. We will put these techniques together in pleasing ways that inspire you to flow smoothly and create your own mesmerizing sequences. This class is taught in a way that is playful and fun and will make you excited about this ancient and beautiful art form. Warning: After taking Sphere 1 you may be unable to look at produce the same way again!
