Improvisation & Instant Composition Classes - "Presence in Action - Creating dance in real time"
A deepening practice for movers with experience, professional dancers, artists, and performers, with focus on improvisation as a performative practice & techniques of instant composition
Series of 5 sessions / starting next week!
Fridays 10.30-12h
07.11 / 14.11 / 21.11 / 28.11 / 05.12
In the first part of the class, we expand our movement vocabulary and personal expression by integrating somatic and anatomical principles with imagination. Through an active and playful engagement with the movement, space, time and fellow dancers, we cultivate clarity of awareness and perception, opening new pathways and access points for creating dance in real time. We practice a technique in which the mind travels openly and fluidly, expanding our capacity to respond to each moment with precision and sensitivity. We seek an effortless, sustainable physicality: a body that is soft and receptive, yet awake, perceptive, and alert - evolving toward a deeply embodied dancing presence from which improvisation and composition naturally and intuitively emerge in alignment with the present moment.
In the second part of the class, techniques of instant composition are practiced and refined through various entry points, with the creation of short improvised pieces each day serving to integrate the process into an artistic, performative outcome - one we both observe and participate in. The work nurtures creative agency and connection with self, others and the surroundings, allowing our creations to unfold with clarity and ease.
