CONTEMPORARY DANCE & IMPROVISATION 

Tuesdays at 18.15-19.45h
in English
Level: Intermediate / for people with movement experience
​with Annukka Hirvonen

In this class we work on different movement principles based on techniques of contemporary dance and improvisation, with influences from somatic movement practices, instant composition, floor work and release techniques, occasionally visiting other movement traditions and styles of dance as well. It is a holistic, fun and playful training that deeply anchors the participants into their bodies, where through a comprehensive somatic participation a genuine connection with our moving selves, others and our immediate surroundings can start to emerge. Technical skills are developed both through various approaches of movement research and fixed movement combinations / choreographies. An effortless, sustainable physicality and technique is encouraged; a body that is soft and receptive, yet awake, alert and perceptive – developing towards a natural, open, personal and deeply embodied dancing presence.

This class is also a regular meeting point for a group where people get to know each other. From time to time we work on small performances and organise little get togethers/picnics after class, for those who like to participate!

Some previous experience in contemporary dance or other forms of movement practices is required.

​"I'm so happy I found Annukka's contemporary dance class about two years ago! It was something totally different to the dance schools and teachers I had experienced before. She creates an inspiring and warm atmosphere which allows you to explore your own way of moving while encouraging you to push your boundaries." Essi Rajakangas
