Workshop
with
Martin Kilvady
In the frame of Winter Tanz 2016/17
Martin brings a number of subjects to this workshop, which he is simultaneously cultivating in his own research as a teacher, student and performer: Body Work (strength, mobility, coordination), Technique (a procedure used to accomplish a specific activity or task), Sense of Dancing (dancing with precision, chosing relationship to the music), Creativity and Freedom, Performance, Enjoyment and Work Ethics (referring to your own discipline and approach to dance as an art form). He aims for these subjects to nourish each other and coexist at the same time. Through his teaching wants to inspire the dancers to build up their own dance method using their knowledge, observation and intuition.
