Improvisation – Stavroula Siamou

Momentum and stillness
Improvisation Workshop

A significant part of our dance education focuses on the exact positioning of our body in space. An admirable virtue indeed. Still there is the thrill of speed and momentum that often defies the sobriety of stillness. How can we be open to a vibrant dialogue between these two parameters of movement? Can we appreciate the unique qualities of Apollonian precision on one hand and Dionysian momentum on the other? Is there a clear boundary between them?
5 days to ask and explore, to move and be still.
