dynamics, rhythm & texture
This is a physical Contemporary Class, which will involve strong, complex and technical sequences, in and out of the floor, focusing on quality, initiation, performance, and stamina. Each session will begin with a different aspect of movement study, focusing on the articulation of hands, isolations, spirals, breath, and flying. Improvisation will also be explored as part of self development, stemming from a physical intention. The desired outcomes for the workshop are to develop the dancers' creative mind, driven from passion, determination, strength, musicality and, most importantly, intention and honesty in whatever choice they make during the session.
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.
