EDAM studio, Western Front

Description:

Disenchanted with dance as spectacle, Jane Ellison started teaching classes in movement and experiential anatomy, incorporating yoga, Feldenkreis, ballet, and movement techniques. Commonly called Boing Boing or Stretch and Strain with Jane, these workouts have continued regularly ever since, and take the form of improvisations with total audience participation.

Western Front is a non-profit
