CrissCross
explore intersections
CrissCross is a technical class focused on developing creativity, artistic self-awareness and physical language. In this class we use improvisations sets as tools, through which we approach various aspects of the movement.
We start with exploring principles of shift of weight, rebound and timing. After waking up the mind and the body, we continue with focusing on qualities such as flow, rhythm and musicality. We work on how we can intentionally combine the principles with different qualities. We give ourselves time to play with possibilities and later we implant various movement material into that play; from floor work all the way to jumps.
CrissCross is a twin class to Hi Tec Tools.
Hi Tec Tools
creative technologies
Hi Tec Tools is a physically demanding class, in which we play with complex and technical movement sets. Later - as class progresses - bits and pieces of these sets are open to individual variation and remixing. The goal of this class is to have fun with dancing, working on precision – speed – floor – jumps – rotation, be physically well trained, working on creativity, so any technical material can be adapted into individual physical language.
Hi Tec Tools is a twin class to CrissCross.
Choreographer and media artist Tomas Danielis (Banska Bystrica, Slovakia, 1980) is known for creating artworks founded on the totality of perception aiming at integral arts. Member of the outstanding generation of Slovak dancers[2] and choreographers born in the 80ties, he is often nicked as a black sheep of the Slovak contemporary dance scene due to his uncompromising approach to arts and reflection of transformative processes in post-communistic Slovakia. He is considered one of the foremost Slovak dance artists.
His choreography engages in a type of dramaturgy overruling the primacy of music and libretto in dance, engaging in exploring sociological works on stage. After working on questions of mechanics of power he founded in 2021 collective Radical Empathy, in which along with his colleagues explores topics of empathy, fundamentals of human perceptions and interactions and their impact on creating sociological structures.
His work had been “characterised by high intensity of movement expressiveness, defined intellectual concept and uncompromising dramaturgical stylisation. Choreography made of extraordinary images expressed in a rich physical language complemented by spare poignant and often ironically funny texts in total as comprehensible as music, sculpture, painting or architecture. ”His works had been presented in over 20 countries on 3 continents. His most notable works are 21&counting, Mainly Love, Equilibrium and most recent production Custom view.

His performing activities also saw him in the Reumert Award-winning productions “Men and Mahler” (2013) and “Rite of Spring – Extended” (2014) as a member of Danish ensemble Granhøj Dans.
