Contemporary dance is interesting for me due to its attention to the ordinary things, which are the basis of our life – body, movement, ground, gravitation, space, time, connection between them all.
The things, which we don’t pay much attention to in everyday life. And otherwise, the things, which need our attention to continue our meaningful presence.
At the same time, these are the things, which are always with us, even though we’ve lost everything. Something, that makes us human, something, we can’t loose during life, and still, somehow, we loose cause of our inattetiveness to simple being.
The main goal of my workshops is to bring this attention back to the body.
We’ll have 2 times a week to come back to ourselves through different body and dance practices which would not only teach us to listen the body but also to train it in a soft, attentive way. So that the body can feel itself more free, confident and live.

Our practice will be divided into 2 parts:
-on Tuesday evening we can move more directly to develop our body opportunities: to release the tension, to soften the joints, to stronger connection of body parts, to feel the balance and coordination.
we will do it through such practices, as released based technique, noguchi taiso, flying low, axys syllabus, passing through and others.

-on Friday we will have 2 hours for the deeper penetration into more laboratory kind of practice, so we can explore one separate topic, which would be different everytime.
our exploration will start from somatic practices, which allow to listen carefully and to tune our attention to the subtle level, and than it will go to some more dynamic movement and dance.
