RE-EDUCATION and RESPECT for the body-KLEIN Technique
RE-EDUCATION OF THE BODY - Klein/Mahler Technique This ongoing class is based on a dance/movement technique that provides the underpinnings to support all styles of dance technique and improvisation. The purpose of the work/class is to re-educate one's body with an interweaving of theory and practice on a physical and organic level. The result is clarity and sureness of movement, and a new level of understanding the innate intelligence of the body. A body of work, it is also a way for dancers to be treated, respected and to be seen as individuals.. The class is open to all levels, dancers and non-dancers alike.

BARBARA MAHLER has taught daily classes for 27 years plus, educating and teaching (with, and inspired by, Susan Klein) a generation of dancers. She is s a widely respected dance teacher and choreographer, very active in the development contemporary dance technique. Essentially self-taught, she brings to her classes the perspective, understanding and experience of working on her own movement re-education. Barbara was a Movement Research artist in residence for the 2000-01 season, is for the 2006-08 season, is an adjunct faculty at Hunter College, NYC, and is on the artist advisory board of BAX, and a recent MFA graduate at from UWM. Barbara also maintains a private practice in Zero Balancing and other hands on healing modalities.

"Mahler, a noted teacher, views dance training as a voyage of self-discovery. Barbara Mahler roots her choreography in distillation, as if she aims to extract the essence of her ideas, making them calmer and purer."(Village Voice 2007)
