DS 1

DanceAbility THE DANCE GANG (6-10 J)

We are the Dance GANG!

In this workshop children of all different backgrounds will get together, will have fun and develop a common (artistic) language – a common movement language. An atmosphere of equality will emerge through games and the simple joy of movement dispelling insecurities. We will use elements of Contact Improvisation – a mode of dancing with cautious physical contact, which everyone can learn and experience. Improvisations will be developed and lead to a short dance piece. The aim of the workshop is to enhance the creation of an individual movement language and enable to follow up on own interests and desires.

Art is not something coming from outside, it grows INSIDE of us. It is the experience of this inside world and the mode of transforming it into an own language. All of us will develop short dance pieces, YOU too! Trust your intuition and find your own place!

DanceAbility is a unique method, open for everyone – for people with and without dance experience, for people with and without disabilities. Alito Alessi and Karen Nelson developed this method in 1987. "Everyone who can breathe can dance."

In the frame of the 30th anniversary of ImPulsTanz, Casinos Austria offers 30 scholarships for MixedAbility Workshop participants of Alito Alessi's and Vera Rebl's Workshops. Please apply with a letter and biography in the Workshop Office.
