Eszter incorporates elements of the Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) into exploratory solo, duet, and group improvisation. SRT’smooth progression allows space for individual thoughts and feelings as well as for the sophistication of its poetic language and carefully built material. Participants explore floor work, partner studies, natural alignment, and effortless movement. SRT helps release body tension, connecting physicality with imagination while supporting creative growth. This workshop is open to anyone interested in exploring movement and improvisation. Releasing dance is specific, yet vastly open, its practice offers many directions to discover the moving self, which then can be taken into improvisation studies for opening possibilities to connect to one or more partners, have a moving conversation and play.
In the classes participants will practice:
• image-guided floor work
• hands-on partner studies
• movement studies to rediscover our natural alignment
• exploring an effortless kind of moving
• cultivating the releasing practices in solo, duet and group improvisations
The Skinner Releasing Technique is a somatic dance technique, a unique approach to dance and movement training. It has been developed by Joan Skinner from the early 1970s. SRT has a process like nature, where one can practice letting go, allowing and being ready to respond to any impulse. By letting go of habitual holding patterns in the body one can find ease and economy while moving, can experience being moved by a given image and discover a possible state of being where the dance and the dancer can become one. The technique connects our physicality with our imagination, and it integrates technical growth with creative process.
This workshop is open to anyone interested in exploring movement and improvisation.
