Profitraining
with
Ildikó Tóth
This class combines elements of Release technique, Contact and Forsythe improvisation methods. Starting with a warm-up on the floor, usually in the form of improvisation, we strive to acknowledge and learn to trust the floor as the main support of the body’s weight and motions. As we challenge known movement patterns by discovering varying points and ideas of initiation, we will focus on the proper use of our breathing. A movement sequence or group improvisation at the end of class provides room for experiencing the space around us, the connection to fellow dancers and the pure pleasure of moving together.
