Partnering
partizipating & communicating in physical dialogues

Sharing & communication are very essential aspects in our daily life. Dance tries as well to express those issues through partner work & other forms.
Physical dialogues is the purpose we are going to search in this class Different exercises will open up instinct & awareness in dealing with each other. Duo & other complex group forms will be dealt during the class in either improvised or fix patterns.
Weight, feelings for timing, leaders & followers, trust, will become our daily technique terms.
