Workshop
with
Ted Stoffer
In the frame of Open Spaces/Sommer Tanz 2017
Ted Stoffer will teach a technical workshop that stimulates cardio, co-ordination and creative play to unlock the power of an integrated body, that utilizes the three centers ¬- from pubic bone to navel, heart area and head. Exercises for articulated and consequential isolated movements prepare for the dancing of small sequences. Intermediates will play with these choreographies and tools for their manipulation.
