CLASS DESCRIPTION

Klein Technique™ is a process-based system of work through which the body is analysed and understood in order to further our movement potential, prevent injury, and support recovery. Developed by Susan Klein in the early 1980s, the technique has been studied and utilised by generations of dancer and choreographers, including Trisha Brown, Sasha Waltz and members of their respective companies. Susan Klein, along with certified teachers and those in training, continuously explore the body in stillness and motion to find new ways of expanding its capacity; the goal being greater efficiency, ease of movement, and expanded movement choices.

In the Stretch and Placement classes, we work slowly, thoughtfully, and deliberately. We focus on finding and improving the body's connections on the level of the bone, learning to use the muscles of deep structural support – the psoas, hamstrings, external hip rotators, and pelvic floor – and integrating their intertwined functions with the rest of the body. This contributes to an enhanced dynamic posture, leading to more effective ways of moving, dancing, and choreographing.

“The purpose of Klein Technique™ is education, not on the superficial level of mimicking form, but on a profoundly deep level of understanding the full use of the body as an integral whole to maximize the function of each individual's unique movement potential. Working from the bones allows one to work from their unique identity, to dance and choreograph from their unique essential self.” (Susan Klein, 2018)

The best way to understand what Klein Technique™ is is to experience it firsthand. If you'd like to read more about it, you can check what Susan Klein says about the technique on the Klein Technique™ website.
