WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY WORKSHOPS:

FRIDAY WORKSHOPS CONTEMPORARY DANCE and MOVEMENT COMPOSITION: This style of 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) spatial and expressive movement. A movement that tells a story and one that can express: an idea, emotions, feelings. Its uniqueness and theatricality is based on movement combined 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. Movement that promotes feeling, thinking, asking questions and pure creation, which also has a healing effect. Creating choreography is often a very creative process that develops a 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 – the characteristic elements of the movement are, among others: movement on the floor, vertically and outside the vertical; turns; jumps; inverted positions, off balance, swing, spiral, slide … We will sometimes work with “ready” movements, but the main topics of the Friday workshops are learning movement composition, not learning the technique of contemporary dance. During Friday workshops, you get the tools to compose your own stories with your body. Step by step, using various methods, we learn the language of choreography to finally get used to it.

WEDNESDAY WORKSHOPS DANCE IMPROVISATION AND PHYSICAL THEATER Basic issues: -center of movement and articulation of the limbs -mobilization of the spine – traveling between the floor and the vertical -shapes – Continuum and Staccato movement -Motion line -motion dynamics -symbols of the body and gesture -intention and movement – the art of acting and stopping in dance – senses and movement -contrasts -communication through movement -working with a prop – solo movement, in duets and in a group * during the course there are 2, max. 3 workshops on contact improvisation during Wednesday / Friday workshops

POSSIBLE BENEFITS FOR THE BODY AND THE SPIRIT: – increasing awareness of the body – increasing spontaneity (reducing the path from impulse to movement, sound, action) – feeling the body, being present in the body and through the body (reading signals in the body) – reacting instead of producing – communicating with with oneself and with others – expanding horizons and ranges: physical and mental – discovering creativity and thinking “out of the box” – powerful training for the imagination – realization of one’s own potential (not only creative) – expressing oneself as I am (authenticity) – work combined with fun – a lot of inspiration – meeting new people in a similar circle of interests and yourself from a new website.
