Dancing with our life experience is a treasures gift we are able to develop and expand. Acknowledging and handling contents, our research will involve direct inputs as well as indirect influences from outside our dance training. Movers and dancers who wish to engage with dynamic states of instant composition are invited to join this two-weeks intensive. Working individually, with partners and as a group – we will observe the fine boarders between personal experience and performance. Every session will be a continual process, following on from a class in which we will tune and awaken our senses. Starting with the body, we will practice handling physicality and directing it from centre to space. Investigating deeper, we will work towards specifying how we carry our physicality in our dancing; how we elaborate feelings, desire and thought – with the materials of dance making. Moderating emotions and technical abilities becomes a language of self expression / narrative – while we move. Practicing our ability to concentrate as well as taking a necessary distance from ourselves will support our objectivity while improvising. Observing how we nourish the work with our presence without fear/concern will allow us to enjoy ourselves and the choreography that takes place in real time.
