Composed Improvisation / Improvised Composition
nourishing the writing of life
The centre of our practice is our consciousness as a support for the dance improvisation – composed improvisation. Being aware of our inner space, the space between body parts, for example between head and chest, the space outside us.
How to write, how to save what comes to be improvised? – nourishing the writing of life, structuring, thinking what comes across.
Writing, composing, knowledge meeting the innate – giving a spontaneous vital character to a composed structure.
