Contemporary dance and improvisation workshop\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The beginning of the workshop is a pivotal moment, as we approach the awareness of our senses within space-time, activating both the body’s center and its memory. This is followed by improvisational prompts focused on level changes and traveling through space, aiming to discover new, personal movement choices. Technical exercises based on the principles of contemporary dance are taught, leading into an extensive movement phrase. The goal is to manage dynamics and different accents within various rhythmic patterns, while training physical memory and muscular endurance.
\nThe ultimate aim of the workshop is the awareness and acceptance of our physical limits, cultivating a relationship with ourselves, the environment, and the people we dance and interact with, so that we may communicate and express ourselves freely.<\/p>\n
