The Role of Fascia in Everyday Life --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lead by guest artist Chris Aiken --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $40 - $50

Chris Aiken is an internationally recognized performer and teacher of dance improvisation and contact improvisation. His approach has been guided by the effort to link our poetic sensibility with the capacity to engage ecologically through perception, action, and imagination. In this sense, ecology includes our sense of self, our sense of other beings, and our sense of the world around us. It includes culture and human artifacts. Chris has performed and collaborated with many renowned dance artists including Angie Hauser, Kirstie Simson, Nancy Stark Smith, Peter Bingham, Andrew Harwood, Ray Chung and Steve Paxton. His work has been shaped by years of practice in the Alexander Technique, Gyrokinesis, ideokinesis, yoga, and fascial body work and movement training. He is a Professor of Dance at Smith College.
