S 06B / Open Source Forms & Improvisation Intensive
Workshop
with
Stephanie Skura
In the frame of Sommer Tanz 2015 / Open Spaces#2-2015
This intensive includes the workshop 'Open Source Forms - Technik' and a second part to go further and deeper into the material.
Freedom + Rigor + Courage
Stephanie Skura developed Open Source Forms (OSF) after 12 years working closely with Skinner Releasing (SRT) creator Joan Skinner. OSF is about cross-fertilizations and deep commonalities of Skinner Releasing and creative process: shedding outer layers, finding primal energy, agility navigating subconscious realms, and imagery as powerful tool for transformation. Taking time for depth of technique to catalyze creative work, these sessions offer tools to access freedom, specificity, and courage in movement, vocal practice and performance. They empower participants to adapt these methods and discover their own. Open to all levels of experience in any art form.
