What not to miss this semester!
New Flynn teaching artist Clare Byrne has taught for 10 years in New York City, where her company was known for celebrating the expressive, explosive, radical, and affirmative power of movement. She brings a fresh and soulful edge to FlynnArts, where her class emphasizes full-body engagement with precision and heart-full expression. A dynamic blend of contact, rhythm, and release techniques informed by Limon, Bartenieff, Laban, Authentic Movement, Body/Mind Centering, Irene Dowd’s Neurological-Muscular Studies, Action Theater, Contact Improv, and yogic principles, Clare’s style will get you flowing and moving from the inside out!
CLARE BYRNE is a choreographer, performer, and writer whose
NYC-based company has performed to acclaim at PS 122,
Dance Theater Workshop, and Brooklyn Arts Exchange, among
other well-known venues. She earned her MFA in Dance at the
University of Wisconsin/Milwaukee and has taught at numerous
universities and arts organizations. She won Best Dance Performance
at 2002’s NY Fringe Festival, and was the 2006 Jerome
Robbins Fellow at the Bogliasco Foundation in Italy.
The FlynnArts dance program instills a lifelong love of dance, helping veteran dancers and first-timers alike experience
the unique power of their own bodies as expressive instruments. Classes cover a breadth of styles, teaching technique
while helping students trust their own instincts—instilling confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Classes focus on
process rather than product, but a year-end optional performance satisfies dancers’ desire to share their growth and hard
work with family and friends. Our program is enhanced by connections to the world-class artists who perform on the Flynn
MainStage and share their dance styles and ideas with FlynnArts students in masterclass settings. Drop-in students are
permitted in teen/adult classes on a space-available basis for $16 per class. However, most classes fill up quickly with
registered students, leaving no room for drop-ins. It is wise to secure a space in class by registering for the full semester.
