up, but down, but fast, but slow, but wild, but sensitive

Akira Yoshida’s workshop begins with the transformation of the language of Breaking into other forms, qualities and dynamics with a great focus on the distribution and transfer of weight, as well as on the use of body tension. It explores the use of weight as a physical element that allows for quick and light movement, while also examining the creative potential of the body parts that are independent of the ground level. The workshop also looks into how we can elevate, so-called, tricks into movements, by examining their creative makeup and transitions. This research includes experimenting with the body’s limitations, so that its optimal function may be accessed. after accessing the body, the workshop evolves into using the body in a theatrical way, in order to find characters and go further into imagination and fantasy.

please be aware of our early bird special offer for this workshop! you can apply for this offer up until the 24th of march 2024. after the 24th the regular workshop fee applies. applications are accepted up until one day before the workshops starts.
