WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY WORKSHOPS:
FRIDAY WORKSHOPS – MOVEMENT COMPOSITION (in the contemporary dance trend):
Contemporary dance emerged on the border of the 19th and 20th centuries, when Isadora Duncan rejected the principles of classical dance and “broke” its rules. However, the forefather of this movement was Francois Delsarte, who was the first to take a closer look at the feedback between the psyche and the body.
Contemporary dance is (often) spatial, expressive and expressive movement. It is a movement in which the mind and body are one.
A movement that tells a story and one that can express: ideas, emotions, feelings and everything contained in the mind-body. Its uniqueness and theatricality include, among others, on movement combined with intention. It is a movement in which our entire being is manifested. In which the dancer’s personality is important and largely determines his individual style. Creating your own movement is often a very creative process and develops you on many levels.
Movement composition provides tools for constructing independent movement statements.
On Fridays, depending on the group’s needs, we will focus on improvisation or composition.
We will not deal with just learning contemporary dance techniques. Knowing this technique is very useful, but not necessary. The basis for building movement compositions will be the mentioned dance improvisation techniques.
WEDNESDAY WORKSHOPS, i.e. the land of caloric creativity and celebration of expression, INCLUDING:
DANCE IMPROVISATION, PHYSICAL THEATER, AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT, THERAPEUTIC DANCE, QI GONG COMBINED WITH DANCE, SENSORY IN MOVEMENT
Basic issues (motor skills):
– movement center and articulation of 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 (min.: weight, tension, level, time, dynamics, size)
-shape/form
-Continuum and Staccato movement
-line of motion (Dry Brushes method)
Basic issues – (body-mind)
-body awareness
-feedback between the psyche and the body (embodying, feeling, expressing and releasing emotions)
-emotions and movement (movement expression techniques)
– body symbolism and gesture/feeling, experiencing
-intention/expression (self-expression)
-presence in movement (being enough)
– senses and movement (pleasure in movement and stillness)
-contrasts and their integration (consent to each other)
-poetics and prose of movement (lyric poetry and prose in dance)
-mental images (imagination training)
-communication through movement with yourself and with the group (communication without words, a body that knows)/self-trust
– solo, duet and group movement (contact with each other and with the group)
Wednesday workshops are a movement that promotes feeling, reflection and pure creation, which also has a healing effect. It’s a move not invented, but flowing from the depths of our being, describing with the language of the body this space of being a human being, in the face of which verbal communication is often helpless. A movement that clears psycho-physical tensions and expresses and visualizes in a simple way what seems complicated. A movement that teaches cooperation with every internal state, no matter what it is. After all, it is also a movement that promotes the practice of presence and authentic and sincere being with yourself and others through the activity of dance.
*during the course, approximately 3 to 5 workshops are planned in: Voice Work, Body Mind Centering, Relaxation Techniques or the art of self-massage with invited guests (external instructors)

This course is not therapy in the classic sense of the word, although most of the exercises have both developmental and therapeutic effects. It can be a very beneficial complement to and support classic therapy.
If someone is in therapy, it is worth letting your therapist know that you plan to take part in these workshops.
Do you have a question about this point? Write.
ADDRESSES OF THE COURSE (please read to the end):
The course is dedicated to both people who already have experience in movement/dance/theater/physical theater, as well as enthusiasts and amateurs of dance/movement who love dancing.
I also invite: art therapists, choreographers, psychologists and people who work or want to work with the body. The course is designed so that it can be used by both professionals and enthusiasts. However, it is good for your body not to be stagnant and unaccustomed to movement.
We invite dancers/people learning to dance, as well as: choreographers and dance instructors/people preparing for the PWST exams/performers/artists of all fields ready for physical effort/educators/people working with the body/people working with children or teenagers/working people with people with disabilities.

We invite people who decided it was too late to dance.
We invite people who want to awaken their body and its potential.
If you feel that this course is calling you, but you feel completely green in the matter of body-dance – write 🙂
