This is a dynamic floor work technique class that invites dancers to move from their fluid body. It focuses on the somatic process of learning (or remembering) and embodying movement, which allows us to not only train the body for aesthetic and performative purposes, but for building neural pathways that can help us expand our awareness of space, time, and connection to the land. Through breath, warmth, stillness and movement, this class explores a rigorous and buoyant physicality that embraces pleasure through phrases, somatic practices and improvisation.

gizeh is a movement, teaching, and performing artist currently co-existing in Ohlone territory. They are dedicated to the study of being a breathing body through movement and stillness. Through their work, they create spaces that allow them to play and divest from concepts of linearity in a creative process, with the intention of practicing freedom. gizeh’s choreographic and teaching work has been shared in the United States, Mexico, and Europe in festivals such as P.O.R.C.H in Germany, Improspeckje in Croatia, GUSH in San Francisco, and 4×4 in Tijuana. gizeh has been an artist in residence at Atland Residency, CounterPulse, PUSH, BANDALOOP, and Bridge Live Arts, and is the 2023-25 Radiate fellow of RAWdance. gizeh is the curator and producer of Gatherings – a free movement workshop series in the Bay Area.
