Saturday with Jenny Howard!!! (August 30)
no class Saturday, September 6 (Holiday)

Class Description:
Class will begin with a 5-6 minute active relaxation period (might be considered meditation or visualization by some) during which we will completely relax the body in order to give the mind a chance to warm up and become an active part of the moving experience. After some guided visualization, we will move through free movement improvisation for joint and muscle stimulation purposes. We will continue with a series of floor exercises that graduate to standing. To awaken and stir the energy fields within and around us, we will go through some Sun Salutations adding variations along the way. To wrap up the warming-up portion of class, we will take our dance vitamins: tendus, plies and so on. After moving slowly and then rapidly through the room, we will spend the last 15 or so minutes learning and artistically exploring a longer combination that hopes to deliver a balance in the use of the body and its energies. I hope you can make it to share the fun as I very much enjoy teaching and exploring with
new and familiar folks alike!

Bio:
My name is Jenny. I'm from Indiana where I grew up ballet-ing, jazz-ing, modern-ing, and tapping for about ten years. I came to Ohio in pursuit of a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Dance from The Ohio State University's Department of Dance. Since graduating in 2007, I have been here, there, and everywhere, but it is currently Ohio where I have come to a still until the wind picks up and blows me elsewhere. In addition to dancing and everything that goes with it, I enjoy photography and a more recent affair with painting (a much more involved and surprising version of photography, I suppose). Another major effort I am making is one to become totally ambidextrous and by consequence more balanced in so many aspects too lengthy to describe here. Most important to me, however, is my current creedo: to try new things fearlessly and to try old things with the fresh breath of new ways. For something new, visit my freshly hatched blog at www.whatshowiesblog.blogspot.com and also be on the lookout for other ART ATTACK happenings around town. (see below for further optional
reading on ART ATTACK).

ART ATTACK! began as a series of guerilla-art "attacks" after which I picked up the ball and turned it into my Senior Honor's Project at The Ohio State University in the Department of Dance.  Every Sunday for 3 months a small group [of amazingly talented and open-minded young women] gathered to semi-improvisationally create something beautiful for the public eye utilizing dance combined with other art forms (chalking, writing, e.g.).  Some examples include ::making human sculptures in crosswalks and bus stops::creating chalk-murals and composing movement in the moment to accompany the pictures::dancing like the Scarecrow on Ohio State's Oval. Since then, it has evolved into an even broader series of art works (of all species) created in public for the public.  The main values of ART ATTACK! are that anyone who wants to do it can, it is easily accessible to viewers verywhere and that we have a good time doing it. ART ATTACK! is the act of art-ing simply because it gives us pleasure. If participating is not your bag, observers are always warmly welcomed.
