Contemporary Technique
The class builds progressivly from deep and static stretching to very physical
and dynamic phrases. Some of the main focusses of the class are the
explorations or natural connections in the body and how to use gravity (
centrifugal force, potential and cinetic energy...) and floor as dance
partners. We ll look frowards to ways of develloping a strong sense of
organicity , finding a balance between what you control and what you let
happen, how to recycle the energy of a movment into another, how to increase
the speed of your dancing in a relativly effortless way.
The class challenges also the participants to take the risk of exploring their
physicality as far as they can, as much in their flexibility than in the
intensity of their dancing.
