Class description:
I CLASS The workshop is for all bodies who want to explore the potential of dancing together. I draw inspiration from postmodern dance and from my process when working with actors on the theatre stage. By working with another body, we discover our own.
The session begins with a warm-up for both body and mind, including somatic practices, sensation, activation, partnering, and spatial awareness. It then develops into a series of games and exercises that create improvised duos and group dances.
Workshopen är en del av projektet Vidare som drivs av Språng och riktar sig till dig som är professionell dansare eller har stor danserfarenhet – oavsett funktionalitet. Tillsammans utforskar vi en funktionsöverskridande danspraktik och hur vi kan skapa ett hållbart dansliv genom hela livet, även när kroppen förändras. Projektet utvecklas i samarbete med Danscentrum Väst, Dansalliansen, Regionteater Väst och Danskompaniet Spinn.
