And next week we have as guest teacher Eddie Oroyan.
Another fabulous dancer with lots of knowledge to share.

Animal Mindfulness
An intermediate/advanced contemporary class to mindfully train the brain alongside the body, to develop awareness and choice. The class will range from meditative to impulsive, but with an 'as we are, not as we want to be' approach. Tools and guiding are offered throughout the class to enable subtle and gross awareness and develop presence. The goal is to observe the animal inside, to let wild roam freely and observe and understand, to learn how decision and wildness can coexist.

Bio
Animal mindfulness. It is search for balance. After an injury in late 2014, Oroyan began a practice of meditation and observation. His performing and studies have long included animal reflex training and proper response, but his new practice has and continues to teach him curiosity and awareness of the more subtle and delicate, the empathetic. After returning to performing and teaching, Oroyan is moved to explore and share these discoveries through the stage and classroom.
Oroyan is in his fourth year with Ultima Vez, having toured and performed primarily with What the Body Does not Remember and, currently, in the production of In Spite of Wishing and Wanting. His experience spans Creach/Company, Shapiro & Smith, ARENA Dances, Zenon, Andrea Miller, and Roberto Olivan. He was a founding BLM mover and continues as Artistic Associate for company Black Label Movement and is an active choreographer. His most recent collaborations presented at American Dance Festival 2014(w/ Carl Flink) and Zürich Tanzt 2015(w/ Rakesh Sukesh). Eddie is currently developing a duet with Natalia Pieczuro.
