Contemporary/Modern Dance

The varied, dynamic movement material I offer draws on modern dance techniques (Cunningham, Limón and others), contemporary movement tendencies, various forms of body work (such as Gyrokinesis) and sports (artistic gymnastics, etc.). In this training we work on quality of movement, flow of movement, condition and coordination. Special attention is paid to the conscious use of breath and to diaphragm training. The benefits of this work include the promotion of effective breathing, centring, grounding, upright posture and permeability of the body. The training begins with floor work and continues with standing technical exercises before moving on to expansive phrases.

Aimed at dance professionals, students of dance, youth and adult amateur dancers (all levels)

Creation of Dance Material with Emotional Content

In this course we create dance movement material with emotional content. It covers the abstract and authentic physical expression of emotions, feelings and moods. Authentic means that, in performing the developed movement material, the dancer re-experiences the emotion on which the outer movement was based. The aim is to develop an individual language of movement which expresses the emotional choppiness in a differentiated, powerful and convincing way. It is the resulting clarity of movement and expression that causes the observer to be moved. The more refined the expression, the greater the impression it leaves!
