Functional Expressivity

Functional Expressivity This workshop is adressed especially to dancers and performers who have been taking part at the trainingslab Feldenkrais - Contemporary Technique with Sascha Krausneker & Georg Blaschke but invites also experienced performers who wish to explore and deepen their personal artistical practice considering principles and approaches through somatic methods. Functional issues will be the starting point of improvisations and will guide us to possible expressive interpretations and esthetical comments in space. Tasks and questions: - the shifting of awareness between inside and outside processes - the somatic approach to movement research and partnering - the correlation between a non-judging gaze and movement - the expressive options of body halves and of a functional touch - the placement of moving tendencies which reveal from a somatic organisation into space as a choreographical/esthetical method - ritualisation and stillness of movement and the presence of the negative space - the possibility od self-organising choreographical structures and reflexions on the presence and the observation of presence During that workshop I wish to share my actual artistical processes and experiences with the group in an atmosphere of creative research.
