Contemporary Dance für Erwachsene DOCK 11 & EDEN
In this class we focus on both technique and movement quality. We will mix moving on the floor and in standing We want to find an approach to movement coming from a relaxed yet energized state of being. The first half of the class we focus on an intense warm up working on softening the body and mind, continuous moving and strengthening, to prepare the body for the following exercises. We will learn how to use momentum in our movement and softness, in order to find an organic movement quality, within a frame of improvisation as well as in given movement sequences. We will finish the class with a choreography merging together the learned approaches.
