CLASS DESCRIPTION

Klein Technique™ is a process-based system of work through which the body is analysed and understood in order to improve and further movement potential, decrease the occurrence of injuries and support the healing process. The technique was developed by Susan Klein in the early ’80s and has been studied and used by an entire generation of dancers and choreographers, including Trisha Brown, Sasha Waltz and members of their companies. Susan Klein, along with the certified teachers and those working to become certified, is always looking at the body in stillness and in motion to create new ways to explore it and to amplify its capacity to create greater efficiency and therefore greater ease of movement and expanded movement choices. In the Stretch and Placement classes, we will work slowly, thoughtfully and deliberately; we will work in order to find and improve the body’s connections on the level of the bone; and we will learn to use the deep muscles of postural support (the psoas, the hamstrings, the external hip rotators and the pelvic floor) to integrate our bodies and improve our dynamic posture thus finding 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 first-hand. If you’d like to read more about it you can check what Susan Klein says about the technique at the Klein Technique™ website.
