Paracosm’s signature company class is open to the public every Friday, offering 2 rigorous hours of dynamic movement and artistic exploration. With a thorough warmup centered on rehabilitation and conditioning for longevity in movement, the class then twists and turns from floorwork combinations to guided improvisational studies, to (just a few!) technical exercises, ending with complex choreography to challenge the mind and body.

​

Experience the blend of contemporary movement against classical notions, paired with martial arts, gestural studies, and the unique ticks and glitches of Alyssa’s choreography

​

*This class involves contact with other dancers via contact improvisation, duet, trio, and group studies, etc. Participation in these exercises is not required to enjoy the class.*

​

**Bring socks, pants, and layers! At least 45 minutes of this class is spent rolling, gliding, slipping – and sometimes flopping and dropping – across the floor. Shorts are not encouraged for this class. Sweatshirts can serve as great padding if floorwork is new to the body!**
