Improvisation in Dance Practice

Kurs with Katarzyna Brzezinska

When anything become something

Working with different tools from the fields (dance - choreography - physical theatre), improvisation and somatic techniques, this course will offer an opportunity to dive into a deep journey of embodied self-expression, both as a solo, in contact and with the instant composition practice within the group. Playing with physicality, movement, voice, objects, time and space becomes a source for working on embodied awareness and creativity and communication, which includes ways of adaptability, decision-making processes, trust in improvisation and much more...

This course gives space for immediate surprises and discoveries and is accompanied by emerging reflections and questions through the unfolding of the improvisational and compositional play of all participants, with all its physical and imaginary elements. Each time and space is as it should be and each of us has a unique expressive quality. This course offers a framework in which in the end, everything that is sensed, felt and encountered can become a possible material to play with and, moreover, a source to become "something".
