Open Company Class with A.I.M
November 13, 2025 | Thursdays 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Classes taught by A.I.M emphasize four of the company’s core movement values: exploration, musicality, abandonment, and intuition. The opening warm-up sequence focuses on the fluidity of the spine, articulation, and core body strengthening; and then builds up to challenging, creative and invigorating phrase work. Participants experience a personalized postmodern movement vocabulary full of intricate gestures and signature A.I.M movement.
