The study of TIME and the accompanying abilities of TIMING, are of essence to those in the temporal performing arts.

The WORKING OF TIME deals directly with the perceived nature of time (both radial and linear) and how we develop our skills in handling it and using its various powers within composition and in performance.

The classes pass swiftly from an essential base of understanding to advanced areas concerning both conceptual clarity and skill refinement.

The inherent nature of timing is not simply a case of where something is placed in time but of reading the temporal language in the most concrete and direct way.
Interval and relationship.

This demands and leads us to a sensibility of the emotional colours and expression wrought by the elements of time:  pulse, beat, accent, syncopation, atmosphere and phrasing.
