WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY WORKSHOPS:
FRIDAY WORKSHOPS – MOVEMENT COMPOSITION (in the contemporary dance trend):
Contemporary dance sprouted on the border of the 19th and 20th centuries, when Isadora Duncan rejected the rules of classical dance “breaking” its rules. However, the forefather of this movement was Francois Delsarte, who was the first to look at the feedback between the mind and the body with a bang.
Contemporary dance is (often) spatial and expressive movement. It is a movement where mind and body are one.
A movement that tells a story and one that can express: an idea, an emotion, a feeling and everything that is contained in the mind. Its uniqueness and theatricality consists in min. on movement with intention. It is a movement in which our whole being manifests itself. In which the dancer’s personality is important and largely determines his individual style. Creating your own movement here is often a very creative process that develops you on many levels.
Movement composition provides tools for constructing independent movement utterances.
On Fridays, depending on the needs of the group, we will either go more into improvisation or composition.
We will not deal with learning the technique of contemporary dance alone. Knowing this technique is very useful, but not necessary. The basis for building movement compositions will be min. dance improvisation techniques.
WEDNESDAY WORKSHOPS, a land of caloric creativity and a celebration of expression, INCLUDING MIN.:
DANCE IMPROVISATION, PHYSICAL THEATER, AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT, THERAPEUTIC DANCE.
Basic issues (motor skills):
– center of movement and articulation of the limbs (body as a whole)
– mobilization of the spine (flow of movement / energy in the spine)
– traveling between the floor and the vertical
and:
-movement qualities (weight, tension, level, time, dynamics, size)
-shape/form
-Continuum and Staccato movement
– movement line
Basic issues- (body-mind)
-feedback between mind and body
body symbolism and gesture
-intention/expression/presence in movement
-senses and movement (issue of pleasure in moving)
-contrasts and their integration
-mental images and poetics of movement
-elements of nature in motion
– communication through movement
– working with props
– solo, duo and group movement
Wednesday workshops are a movement that promotes feeling, reflection and pure creation, which also has a healing effect. This is not an invented movement, but flowing from the depths of our being, describing with body language this space of being a human being, against which verbal communication is often helpless. Movement that cleanses psycho-physical tensions and expresses and visualizes in a simple way what is complicated. A movement that teaches cooperation with every inner state, no matter what state it is. After all, it is also a movement conducive to the practice of presence and authentic and honest being with oneself and with others through the activity of dance.
During the course there are about 3 to 5 workshops on Voice Work or Body Mind Centering
with invited guests (instructors from outside)
POSSIBLE PROFITS FOR BODY AND SPIRIT:
-deepening the relationship: mind-body
-learning or improving body language
-awakening dormant instincts and the vitality behind them
-strengthening communication with oneself and with others, thanks to work with the body
-awareness of the body/feeling of the body/reading its signals
-increasing spontaneity (reducing the distance from impulse to: action)
-reacting and listening instead of producing (acting without wrestling)
-expanding horizons and scopes: physical and mental
-development of creativity and “out of the box” thinking
-powerful training for the imagination
– making friends with the senses and the phenomenon of pleasure
– realizing one’s own potential (not only creative)
– building the ability to act, taking into account your psycho-physical condition (acceptance)
– expressing myself as I am (authenticity) and, as a result, increasing acceptance of the internal environment (I) and the external environment

If someone is in therapy, it is worth informing your therapist that you plan to participate in these workshops.
COURSE ADDRESSES (please read to the end):
The course is dedicated to both people who already have experience in movement/dance/theatre/physical theatre, as well as amateurs for whom dance calls. The course is structured in such a way that it can be used by both professionals and enthusiasts without previous experience. However, it is good that your body is not stagnant and not used to movement.

We invite people struggling with pain on a daily basis and want to learn to listen to their body.
We invite people who decided that it is too late to dance.
We invite people who want to awaken their body and its potential.
If you feel this course is calling you, but you have no experience with the movement, write. However, it’s good for you to be excited.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, I invite you to participate, provided that you are accompanied by a remote sign language interpreter.
*The course is for people who are able not to miss more than 6 workshop meetings in the Diamond version, or 4 meetings in the White and Silver version and 5 meetings in the Hybrid version.
