Sunday Evening MB Technique workshops with Sam Aros-Mitchell
“I began training in MB technique with Maori choreographer Charles Koroneho over 10 years ago and am one of the few teachers in the United States to offer this kind of workshop. This training informs much of my work, my pedagogy, my artistic expression, as well as allowing me the privilege of offering something to our beautiful and vivacious movement community here in Minneapolis.” - Sam Aros-Mitchell

What is MB?
MB is a kinesthetic movement research, founded by dancer/farmer Min Tanaka, further developed by practitioners worldwide. MB or Muscle/Bone technique often works within a format built on a series of progressive invitations to move across the floor, serving to open the body to new possibilities for movement through challenge, (dis)coordination, rhythmic study, exhaustion and raw physicality. MB resists the definition of a singular “technique" in the traditional sense of the word. The movements proposed here serve to decontextualize the participants' known body, by calling attention to fixed habits/tendencies, drawing upon group energy, and refusing to settle in a single point of movement reference. MB explores spatial activation, as well as strategies for developing agility, speed, coordination.
