Release Technique- Enjoying the Laws of Motion
Enjoy the intensity of movement

The class is based on the main premises of Release Technique.
The terms verticality and gravity are introduced from the very beginning of the warm up to develop the relationship of the mover with the floor and gain awareness of total alignment.
The focus is on the head-neck connection as initiation for any action. The importance of using the real weight of the extremities, pelvis and thorax will be explored. Self perception of movement is the main goal in changing previous physical habits, in order to use new perimeters that will help us renounce extra muscular force.
We will delve into active integration of mind and body and the investigation of your own thought process to open new ways of communication with other bodies in space.
This class is an approach to the body as an open system, a physical machine that endures the laws of motion. The three golden laws of Inertia, Reciprocal actions and Impulses are there to help us dance and enjoy the intensity of our movements.


Rosas Repertory - Drumming

"Drumming" is a dance piece created by Rosas in 1998. During the week we will be working in learning material of "Drumming" to be able to dance it and transform it in a personal and unique way. I will teach the vocabulary and phrases from the piece and once we will master them I will give different tasks and parameters to transform those phrases and to help to create your own vocabulary and way of expressing it.
I explain and teach tools we use in Rosas Company to generate material.
We will talk about how to reverse a phrase, how to make a floor version of it, how to apply it in space, spirals, maximum versions, minimum versions, rhythmical and speed alternations, loops, video scratches, shifting...
The final result should be a playful approach and give you the chance to experience Rosas material with your own body and help you understand the work of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
