Contemporary Dance Workshop: EXPLORING GRAVITY AND MOMENTUM
to professional dancers and advanced dance students 14.-15.9.2019 in Joensuu
Through exercises, games and dynamics, we will work through pathways that integrate technique, improvisation and instantaneous composition, rooted in our mental, physical, and energetic receptivity and attention. There is a focus on engaging a somatic, physical, relational and aesthetic experience that stimulates our collective creative potential and the intuitive intelligence of the body - a body that knows and explores unknown bodies.
The workshop will include core elements such as: breath cycles, kinesphere, time-space awareness, weight and structure, the whole and its parts, contact, and gaze. By tuning into these basic principles we will expand our field of perception, with which we understand, intuit and discern our daily life and movement practice. We will work and play with the awareness of gravity so that the weight of gravity will be a constant in our state of consciousness, between movement and stillness. We will navigate between states of play-fullness intuition and risk, exploring the limits of our momement and creative potentials, with the intention of being fully present in time and space.
Workshop is to professional dancers and advanced dance students and it's organized in collaboration with ISLO Education in dance and somatics. Working language is English.
