DANCE
I teach a dance practice I call Embodied Inquiry that seeks to use movement to ask critical questions. It consists of improvisation combined with somatic movement and contemplative dance forms such as Authentic Movement. Please inquire about my teaching schedule if it is not posted. coco@findingcoco.net
My own creative work relies on this type of inquiry-based movement discovery, which I developed into workshops that culminate in community-inclusive performances that have taken place in San Francisco for MagikMagik* Orchestra, in Istanbul about performative protest, and for the NY hospice/ palliative care community that investigates the physicality and gestures of care.
MUNZ FLOOR
I am a certified MUNZ FLOOR (formally SAFE FLOOR) coach. I was trained by the creator Alex Munz. I teach online and inperson group and private sessions. Please inquire about sessions coco@findingcoco.net
"The MUNZ FLOOR spine workout has tremendous immediate impacts; more freedom in the joints, more muscle sponginess, movements are anti-inflammatory, they do wonders against stress. This Award-Winning neuromuscular technique was developed by Alex Munz, former Principal ballet dancer, in collaboration with scientists." - MAISON MUNZ
