WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY WORKSHOPS:

FRIDAY WORKSHOPS
MOVEMENT COMPOSITION (in the trend of contemporary dance):
Contemporary dance sprouted on the border of the 19th and 20th centuries, when Isadora Duncan rejected the rules of classical dance by “breaking” its rules. However, the forefather of this movement was Francois Delsarte, who was the first to take a deep look at the feedback between the psyche and the body.
Contemporary dance is (often) a spatial and expressive movement, full of expression. It is a movement in which mind and body are one.
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 your own movement is a process here that is often very creative and develops you on many levels.
Movement composition provides tools for constructing independent movement statements.
FRIDAY WORKSHOPS IS BOTH A MOVEMENT COMPOSITION AND A SENSORY DANCE AND PHYSICAL THEATER, because this material is the key to composing movement. On Fridays, depending on the needs of the group, we will go either more to improvisation or to composition.
We are not going to study the technique of modern dance. Knowing this technique is very useful, but not necessary.

WEDNESDAY WORKSHOPS
DANCE IMPROVISATION, PHYSICAL THEATER, SENSORY 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
-symbols of the body and gesture
-intention in motion
-expression
– senses and movement
-contrasts
– mental images and the poetics of movement
-elements of nature in motion
-communication through movement
-working with a prop
– solo movement, in duets and in a group

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 with the body language this space of being a human being, against which verbal communication is often helpless. Movement that cleans from psycho-physical tensions and expresses in a simple way what is complicated. A movement that teaches you to collaborate with any inner state, no matter what it is. After all, it is also a movement that favors the practice of presence and authentic and sincere being with oneself and with others through the action of dancing.
