The ability of our body to adapt to spatial properties and dynamic events is required in everyday life as well as in dance. Whether I orientate myself on architectural conditions and react to the movement of my surrounding, or if I follow a space direction, a trace in the air or the impulse to throw myself to the ground: each time my body is reorganising itself anew. This workshop takes perceptions and material conditions as well as mental representations as starting points to radically examine and practise those physical processes of adaptation. The goal is to heighten the flexibility and clarity in relation to a given movement-intention and thus to inspire a technical as well as creative research. We will mainly work with improvisation and mini-composition.
