Class with Rumi Jeraj

Event by Good Women Dance Collective

This class will explore Improvisation and floor work. Seeing improvisation through the lens of Systems, Scores and Games we will aim to physically find and explore a specific movement quality, then take this quality on a journey through a score. We will also see what using this movement quality as the basis for a game would look like. The Floor-work portion of this class will take us through a series of combinations which harness momentum and strength to more efficiently move in and out of the floor.

Rumi Jeraj is an Ismailli muslim hailing from Sherwoodpark Alberta (the world's largest hamlet). A Graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University Rumi has worked for dance artists including Daryl Tracy, Heidi Strauss, Hannah Kiel and Eilish Shin-Culhane. Since graduating Rumi has been curious about creating his own work, collaborating with musicians through the National Ballet's open space program and Purawai Vyas (a Bharatanatyam dancer) through the Love-In. He was also a selected choreographer for the inaugural DaCo where he created a first draft of a walk titled The Line.Outside of contemporary dance, Rumi has trained in tap dance with Travis Knights and Dianne Montgomery. He aspires to create and be a part of work which mixes forms in order to better tell stories. He believes there is a perfect balance between words, music, and movement which can communicate intellectually, emotionally and viscerally all at once. He aspires to find this state on stage.
