Body Dynamics
- Workshop
- Coordinated by Simona Dabija
19 – 22 August
Info
Through technical exercises, short choreographies and guided improvisation, we return to the mechanisms underlying the body’s organic movement in order to improve flexibility, balance, fluidity, coordination and motor memory of the body.
The workshop will propose exercises that explore rhythm in individual – collective tandem, through states of tension and relaxation and through speed variations that create a surreal corporeality.
Difficulty level beginner – intermediate – the exercises you will be exposed to do not require previous experience of participation in other contemporary dance classes.
Classes are progressively constructed and tailored to the group’s level of depth.
