Contemporary

Kurs with Kerri Fitzsimons

The Contemporary class begins with guided improvisations to warm up, ground and center the body, while becoming aware of the breath. The class continues to move through structured exercises activating the core, emphasizing alignment and engaging large muscle groups while flowing in and out of the floor. Weaving improvisation with technique, each class focuses on a movement theme which returns throughout the session. As her class progresses across the space with spirals, floorwork and turns, there is a mix of exploration tasks and short phrases to integrate improvisation with more complex movements. Bringing all these elements together Victoria's class culminates in phrase-work, integrating individual movement qualities into the structure or choreography.

Kerri Fitzsimons

Kerri is a performance artist, mediator and yoga teacher. After graduating from Bath Spa University, she worked as an apprentice dancer for Untold Dance Theatre in Bristol, before moving to Berlin in 2019 to develop her personal practice. Kerri advocates for accessibility in the arts, which is the foundation of her creative process and led her to mediation in contemporary art galleries. In her mediation, choreography and teaching, Kerri aims to make space for people who believe they don’t have the skillset to participate by permitting them to respond intuitively. She has worked as a dancer for choreographers Borghildur Indriðadóttir (Mask City, 2020) and Lore Dekeyser (Little Movements, ada Studios, 2020), and presented her own work at Lake Studios Berlin and DO Festival in Gdańsk, Poland.
