OM KLASSEN MED MICHELLE
I tradisjon tro har Michelle Flagstad i en årrekke holdt klasser i julen i Kristiansand. For to år siden var det for første gang klart for julejazz på Ravnedans, men uheldigvis under klasseforberedelser forstuet Michelle ankelen, og det hele ble bokstavelig talt «satt på is». Nå er hun på beina igjen, og det blir endelig sommerjazz!
Klassen vil bestå av ulike elementer, forhåpentligvis noe for enhver smak. Klassen vil inneholde oppvarming, ballettekniske øvelser i senter, impro, kombinasjoner over gulvet, og en koreografi på slutten. I klassen vil det være fokus på musikalitet, innlevelse, presisjon, eget uttrykk, men mest av alt danseglede.
ABOUT THE CLASS WITH MICHELLE
It’s been a longstanding tradition that Michelle Flagstad leads a dance class in Kristiansand for christmas. Two years ago we were looking forward to christmas jazz at Ravnedans, but during preparatiosn Michelle unfortunately sprained her ankle, and everything was literally “put on ice”, on hold. Now she is back on her feet, and we will finally have summerjazz!
The class for consist of different elements, hopefully something for every taste. The class will have a warmup, ballet-techical exercises in the centre, improvisations, combinations across the floor and a choreography at the end. The class will focus on musicality, presicision, finding your own expression, but most of all the joy of dancing.
ABOUT TEACHING ARTISTS
Every morning during the festival, one of the artists from the festival team will share something from their artistic work.
The content of the session can vary from holding a seminar, giving repertoire, sharing strategies and thoughts, trying out new ideas, or more simply be a space to share their own daily praxis.
All sessions will be put together for others to join in physically in some way. In that way the Teaching Artist sessions can also function as a small warm up for the rest of the day for those who move on to workshops or LABs. The different sessions will be suitable for different people, so check out the schedule to see what suits you.
