About the Class
Instant Composition: let´s get creative!
How does movement emerge when we truly listen to the body? Here we don't invent, we let movement happen! This professional training focusses on expoliring the energy the body genereates from within. Through gentle physical preparation - shaking, stretching, floorwork and partnering - we activate strength, mobility and empodied presence. We work in changing constellations: solo, duet, trio... Also the studio itself becomes an active partner, supporting play, buildiung up stages, dialogue and spacial awareness. By observing, sharing, re-composing movement material, participants develop new perspectives on their dance practice. This training is intended for professional dancers and advanced practitioners interested in improvisation, somatic awareness and creative freedom between perception, listening and artistic composition.
