TEACHER
a technique to open mind-body energy
PRIVATE & GROUP CLASSES
participants: open to all
LIFT is a training designed to generate a flow of energy through mind and body. We begin on the floor with relaxation, guided meditation, and breathing, then move into stretching and strengthening, before progressing to standing exercises focused on alignment, spatial awareness, and improvised movement to music. Participants leave energized, grounded, and focused. No previous dance experience is necessary.

WORKSHOPS & Individual Training
participants: open to all
This workshop uses the methodology of the IRIS Map to explore how the images and movements of the mind impact how we dance, sing, act and move through our lives.
I have taught the method to dancers, actors and musicians, to visual arts, as well as to people in the fields of business and health and beyond to enhance creativity and well-being.

TECHNIQUE CLASSES
participants: dancers
When I was 23, Merce Cunningham asked me to teach at his Manhattan Studio. Since then, I have taught the technique to schools and companies in the US and throughout Europe, notably for Opéra de Lyon, Anna Teresa de Keesmaeker, Philippe Decouflé, Maguy Marin, Wim Vandekeybus, Angelin Preljocaj, Àngels Margarit, Jean-Claude Gallotta.
“Ann’s classes are challenging, energetic and physically demanding.
She has a great rapport with her students, infusing them with an enthusiasm for dance movement.”
