Eroca's class will link skills between floorwork and contact. We will explore and strengthen specific movement patterns, using spirals to move in and out of the floor, both with a partner and solo. Exploring the anatomy of the arms and shoulders as a way to connect with full body spiral, we will change levels and examine the physical possibilities towards a spherical appreciation of space, where movement can take place in any direction. Linking the skills we already have in floorwork or in contact will provide us with a base for creating a greater ease moving with and accessing momentum when moving into and out of the floor solo and when dancing with another moving body.

Eroca Nicols is an international performance art and body nerd. Her alter ego and company, Lady Janitor, combs the globe looking for places to incite radical moments of art chaos, consume massive amounts of coffee, wear amazing unisuts and confer with movers and thinkers of all varieties. Eroca is currently known a dancer/choreographer but her artistic background stems from a family of semi-mystical nomadic trailer people, years working as a janitor, and a BFA in video/performance art and sculpture from California College of the Arts (formerly and Crafts.) Her teaching and training are deeply influenced in her continued study of the Axis Syllabus.
She is super stoked to be all up in the United States this spring as Teaching Artist in Residence at The Whole Shebang in Philly and at The School of Making Thinking in NYC.
