Come on- let´s dance!
The main focus of the dance workshop will be to increase awareness of your own body and the group you are working with. This can be seen as the very basis for every performative action. Group exercises and bodywork will be introduced and will build the framework of this workshop.
In the morning training you will be introduced to a variety of elements from contemporary dance (standing and floor level), inspired by yoga and release technique.
The afternoon class will give space to use what you have learned in the morning in a more creative way by making your own dances. Using improvisation as a tool to experience new ways of moving, you will be encouraged to explore your individual way of expression. In solo, partner and group work you’ll be creating short pieces of choreographies that will form the basis for a larger piece of dance which will be performed on the final evening.
Don’t worry if you have not had any dance experience before- the workshop is open for everybody! Most important is the joy of moving and the openness to exchange and communicate with others on a non- verbal basis.
