Description

Community Strength Training with Jennifer Lawrence

Mondays and Saturdays, beginning at 10 am

Classes are 60 minutes

Jennifer Lawrence is the owner of The Firm Exercise Studio, which she purchased 35 years ago from the original owner. Having taught exercise classes in Chatham for 37 years, she believes exercise should be an enjoyable experience for all that pairs laughter with correct technique and form. Her classes are instructional, and she always aims to provide modifications for those with existing conditions and injuries. Each class varies and is tailored to those who are in attendance. Classes typically last an hour, including a warm up, low impact cardio section, strength training, core work, balance work, and a nice stretch that includes some elements of yoga. Participants are encouraged to bring a mat, but are also welcome to leave early if they are not comfortable getting down on the floor.

 

5 Class Passes are available for purchase here.

Classes will be held in the PS21 Dance Barn. Please park at the main theater and follow signs to the Dance Barn.

Restrooms are available in the theater lobby. Please bring a mat, towel, and water

Movement Without Borders is a perfect complement to PS21/Chatham PATHWAYS, our annual series of creative placemaking that fosters collaboration between regional and local artists and the community to enhance cultural life and well-being. Led by contemporary performance and theater luminaries, Movement Without Borders brings yoga, Pilates, exercise, dance, and self-expression to young and old. Instructors are drawn from talented professionals based in the Hudson Valley, visiting from Bennington’s MFA dance program, and elsewhere.

 

Movement Without Borders sessions are held in our sprung-floor Dance Barn, Pavilion Theater stage, and on PS21’s 100 acres of trails, open spaces, meadows, woodlands, and orchards. Open to the public from dawn to dusk, the grounds offer stunning views of the Catskills from the hills behind our theater. These priceless resources are available for our artists and our community, and there’s no better time than this spring and summer to get acquainted with this splendid “backyard.”

PS21: Performance Spaces for the 21st Century

Established in Chatham, NY in 2006, PS21 supports innovative performing artists and creators and introduces their work to a broader audience, while also providing the surrounding region with opportunities for arts engagement regardless of economic status, cultural background, and age.

 

Five acres of PS21's 100+ acres are developed; the rest are meadows and woodlands. Situated near the theater are the Dance Barn, a rehearsal and performance venue, and two artists’ residences accommodating sixteen individuals. The PS21 property is also host to the Chatham Farm Animal Rescue. PS21's new theater and rural campus are important resources for both visiting artists and the community, optimized for the public's enjoyment and to encourage citizen expression and participation. 

 

The 350-seat theater is a state-of-the-art, green facility offering resident makers and performers the tools and flexibility for successful innovation and collaboration in the development of sophisticated multi-media work. Few other US facilities are able to provide this level of technical support. PS21 operates year-round, supporting performances by and residencies for dancers, choreographers, musicians, composers, actors and creators. The summer season is PS21's public highlight, during which a full calendar of performances is augmented with a myriad of events and workshops, many of which are free of charge and involve community collaboration with the gifted artists in residence.
