It’s time to reconnect. With yourself, with others, and with space – together. In this group setting, you will re-claim and re-experience space through movement – whether in a studio or public space, indoors or outdoors. Through guided improvisations and movement scores we explore the contrasts and qualities of closeness and distance. Each session begins with a warm-up that combines elements of yoga, Klein technique, and release-based work. Through dance-technical and improvisational approaches, the basic principles of force/weight, time and space are individually experienced and learned. We will try out movement tasks together – to music or in silence – which evolve into playful compositions.
Re-collect
19.45-21.00 (open level)
In this class, we explore dance as a way to deepen self-awareness, release stress and connect with others. Re-Collect invites us to let go of tension, rediscover both inner and outer spaces of movement, and perceive the body in a new way – with more sensitivity, clarity, and strength. Re-Collect is also an invitation to a collective rest – a shared space where we can slow down, replenish our energy, and draw new strength. The focus is on the individual and collective experience of dance and movement. Through floor work, partner exercises and improvisation, a space is created for mutual encounter, play, and expression. We use somatic impulses, touch, weight, and gravity to arrive in the body, connect with it, and rediscover its intuitive wisdom.
Re-search
Fridays (start: Oct. 10th)
10.30-12.00
Can we transform our daily lives – the way we interact with our environment and relate to one another – into a creative process through movement? In contrast to the idea of economic optimisation, dance works with what is present in the moment. Movement Research is an ongoing physical inquiry within dance improvisation. The class begins with a warm-up based on bodywork, Yoga, Klein technique and Release technique. As we begin to understand and experience our body – its anatomy, layers and mobility – a new space opens up, both internally and externally.
