ABOUT THE CLASS
This class will revolve around floorwork and the core principle of executing movements with ease. Its primary aim is to explore and refine the skill of weight shifting, enabling dancers to effortlessly transition between various movements while grasping the impact weight distribution has on movement quality and aesthetics. Through improvisation and targeted exercises, participants will delve into the utilization of body weight and momentum to generate power and propel themselves through space. The focus will be on mastering the efficient use of weight, minimizing effort while maximizing the profound impact of each movement.
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.
