It was a most interesting, as always, group of interested, open, warm and generous students in a workshop shop hosted by Schwelle 7. Six hours a day, give or take, we worked on connections – everyone open to the possibility that the floor, and connections of sitz-bone heel, and hanging over and hollowing on the wall etc etc would change how they moved, even in the simple actions we participate in in everyday life. It never, still, ceases to amaze me how change happens!
And then of course, the wall, and the beautiful art and tributes along the East Gallery.

About Barbara Mahler Dances
Barbara Mahler is a long-standing and active member of the New York City dance community as a choreographer, performer and teacher - a master teacher of Klein Technique.
