Contemporary Technique
Begin to move....it’s never too late

We will experience a wide palette of different elements in contemporary dance: exercises for body-consciousness, training, improvisation, composition. ‘The full experience’. We will start each class with a warm-up, based on exercises coming from contemporary technique and improvisation, going through the whole body. Later on, we will learn a movement phrase. With that phrase and then start to play around and apply some composition tools. You will be working as solo, but also in duos, trios or small groups. Enjoy moving the others and you will be moved yourself!
