Creative children's dance

In the course different forms and possibilities of moving are tried out: Running, jumping, sneaking, rolling or spinning are just a few examples. Building on the children's natural joy of movement and adapted to their individual stage of development, basic elements of dance techniques are taught. The children can develop and expand their movement repertoire.

Coordination and sense of rhythm are encouraged in movement games and age-appropriate exercises. In improvisations and exercises the children can find and develop their individual expression, they learn to express and realize their thoughts, feelings and fantasies in dance. Curiosity, fun in trying things out and experimenting are encouraged as well as individual creativity and dance expression.

Laura Sophie Faiß studied psychology in Tübingen and Enschede (NL) and then completed her contemporary dance training in Berlin at Seneca Intensiv, the Berlin Dance Institute and Etage Berlin (graduating in 2021).

Already during her studies she taught improvisation / composition and realized her own pieces. In Berlin she soon started teaching children and teenagers. Her teaching focuses on the development of the natural creativity of the participants and the development of an individual expression.

In her choreographic work she is interested in the influence of emotions on individuals, interpersonal and collective. In doing so, she seeks ways to integrate and develop her theoretical knowledge and movement practice. She is currently working on freelance projects. In 2022, she was awarded the fall residency at Studio 2 for her project "Mututally exclusive feelings", among others.
