Jan 31, Feb 7, 14 - Hana van der Kolk

Hana's classes are open to all (no dance experience necessary) and combine a slow, centering warm up influenced by BodyMind Centering, Alexander Technique, Yoga, and Release Technique, with a fun, sweaty, simple and big-moving section inspired by Hip Hop, Jazz, and modern dance. The class ends with some improvising that focuses on questions of consciousness that aim to expand physical and mental possibilities.

Hana van der Kolk is a Los Angeles-based artist whose choreographic projects combine elements of conceptual practice with the techniques of postmodern choreography and take place in a wide range of sites, including the stage, studios and galleries, in writing, on film, and in outdoor, public spaces. She is highly influenced by her longtime engagement with the work of choreographer Deborah Hay, whose solos she has been learning and adapting since 2000. Hanarecently collaborated on projects with Jesse Aron Green, My Barbarian, Robby Herbst, Adam Overton, Emily Mast, and Carolina San Juan. You can learn more about her May 2007 site-specific performance/participatory event at www.interimuses.org , and about the intensive practice-based, inter-disciplinary artist's residency that she directs at www.genesisprojectla.org . Hana holds an MFA in choreography from UCLA.
