Connect – Play – Challenge
Live Workshop
with
Raul Martinez
In the frame of Sommer Tanz 2021
The workshop Connect – Play – Challenge is an invitation to try out, train, play and challenge yourself through movement. It is more important than ever during these strange times, to re-strengthen the connection to our bodies. To do this, we will work with specific movement material, as well as exercises and training sequences, inspired by martial arts and the research for awareness of our body. The material can be described as raw, with basic acrobatic elements, challenging speed, coordination and spatial orientation. Equally we will also work on mental capacities through the use of inconvenient coordination and an increased ability to react. All this will provide us with tools for an agile body that can confront any circumstances. We will dance with a powerful flow of energy, releasing accumulated tensions and by consciously using the space, the muscle tonus, and bodily isolations or unusual coordinations re-evaluate our own physical material.
Please note: The workshop will be held live in the studio under the measures in place at that time. If this is not possible there will be an online version in any case. Therefore, the number of participants is limited. More information about the measures will be continuously updated on the website and communicated by mail shortly before the workshop starts.
