Gravity Happens: Principles of Movement

Gravity Happens: Principles of Movement This workshop is dedicated to al beginners who would like to get a better understanding of their body. The first step will be to become friends with the floor - and gravity! We'll explore sensory development, flexibility and strength. In your own rhythm you can discover new things and integrate them into your dance. We will analyse movement patterns and create an understanding for movement. The body will learn how to think! Reflexes will be trained, agility and grace happens by itself, and the pleasure of movement sings the background vocals. There will be opportunities to try things out, to learn choreographies and to develop them yourself, to improvise on your own or with a partner. Rolling, falling, movement sequencing, letting go of unnecessary tension, articulation of the spine and a range of expressive qualities will make up for the vocabulary. Your body will feel changed after this workshop.
