Kara Brody
Release Based Contemporary
Come as you are, and move as you need. This low-stakes gathering offers a high-play environment pulling from post-modern, somatic, and release based forms. We will activate the space through a series of short sequences that progress from the floor to standing. With an emphasis on finding efficient ways of moving, this class cycles through momentum driven physicality that is often off-centered, in spiral, and grounded. Those with a movement background are highly encouraged for this class.
Kara Brody is a freelance artist working collaboratively in life and artistic endeavors. She approaches movement with a deep sense of tenderness, imbuing a range of nuance in tandem with an explosive form of power centering playfulness and queer belonging. For the past decade, she has toured internationally / domestically, originating roles with Faye Driscoll and Lucky Plush Productions. Based in Chicago, Brody interacts with its diverse arts community hosting classes, activating panel discussions, performing in the robust DIY underground dance scene, a Lecturer at University of Chicago, and a devoted collaborator.
