The Sensorial body
Movement can be originated in an aesthetic idea, an image or sensation.
We will work with the following Class Principles:
Bodily connectivity (using support of LMA vocabulary), technical exquisite body, – action – motion, active – passive relations, in-out impulsing , giving in to movement.
The classes are focusing on developing physical and technical skills and increasing the sensorial awareness of one’s body. We will try to connect the physical/Kinesthetic processes to the awareness and the awakening of the body. I am using references to traditional dance practices and techniques mixed with yoga. With that synergy I am training dancers to arrive at their full potential and enlarge the positive experiences in the practice of dance.
The classes are very physical and increasingly demanding a high energy and commitment level. It is necessary to have a follow up of the classes in order to sense the development. In those classes I am training the body in a multi tasking . Way where flow of thoughts and tasks leads us into moving in space.
We will create an embodiment of information and connect to the activity in real time, As in life – increasing our experiences while moving.
