FRIDAY WORKSHOPS
CONTEMPORARY DANCE AND MOVEMENT COMPOSITION:

Contemporary dance grew on the border of the 19th and 20th centuries, when Isadora Duncan rejected the principles of classical dance by “breaking” its rules.
Contemporary dance is (often) a spatial and expressive movement, full of expression.
A movement that tells a story and one that can express: an idea, emotions, feelings. Its uniqueness and theatricality lies, among others, in on movement with intention. It is a movement in which our entire being manifests itself. In which the dancer’s personality is important and largely determines his individual style. Creating choreography is often a very creative process that develops the dancer / choreographer on many levels.

The basic physical elements of this dance are:
– quality of movement, including: tension, weight, impulse, size, pace, dynamics, shape, direction, etc.
– work with the traffic center
– three-dimensional movement of the spine
– movement on the floor, vertically and off the vertical
– characteristic elements of the movement are, among others: movement on the floor, vertically and outside the vertical; turnover; jumping; inverted positions, off balance, swing, spiral, slide …

FRIDAY WORKSHOPS
MOVEMENT COMPOSITION

The main topics of the Friday workshops concern the composition of movement mainly in the trend of contemporary dance (very capacious when it comes to style). We are not going to study the technique of modern dance. Knowledge of this technique is very useful in creating your movement materials, but it is not necessary. On Fridays, you get the tools to compose your own stories with the body. You learn how to transform, for example, ideas, feelings, stories, themes, moods into movement. Step by step, using various methods, we learn the language of choreography in order to finally get used to it. On Fridays, you can also expect material from the field of dance improvisation and physical theater, because this material is the key to composing movement here.

WEDNESDAY WORKSHOPS
DANCE IMPROVISATION, PHYSICAL THEATER, THEARAPEUTIC DANCE
Basic issues:
-the center of movement and the articulation of the limbs (the body as a whole)
– spine mobilization (movement flow in the spine)
– traveling between the floor and the vertical
-Shape
– Continuum and Staccato movement
-Motion line
-timing and dynamics of movement
– body symbol and gesture
-intention in motion
– senses and movement
-contrasts
– mental images
-elements of nature in motion
-communication through movement
-working with a prop
– solo, duet and group movement

The Wednesday workshop is a movement that promotes feeling, thinking, asking questions, and pure creation, which also has a healing effect. It is a movement not invented, but flowing from the depths of our being, describing it with the language of the body, this example

the dream of being a human being, over which verbal communication is often helpless. Movement that cleans from psycho-physical tensions and expresses the complicated in a simple way. A movement that teaches you to cooperate with every inner state, no matter what it is. After all, it is a movement that promotes the practice of presence and an authentic and honest being with oneself and with others in the action of dancing.

* during the course, about 3 workshops are planned on Kontakt Improvisation, Body Mind Centering and vocal workshops during Wednesday / Friday workshops

POSSIBLE BENEFITS FOR THE BODY AND THE SPIRIT:
– to deepen the awareness of feedback: mind-body
-strengthening communication with oneself and with others thanks to working with the body
