The morning classes are open for professional dancers and dance students.

A Morning class - Medusa, starfish, coral and anemone 

In this morning class we will work on performative and pre-expressive prac;ces that open the body to dance. A dance that does not aim to be a visual representation, but an experience of unfolding perception, presence and experience. 

Through practices of touch and the embodiment of virtual anatomy. Performative presence and dance are approached as an awakening of the senses, an energetic mobilisation and a healing without disease. 

Amanda Piña (1978) is a Chilean-Mexican-Austrian based artist living between Vienna and Mexico City. Her work is choreography based and includes performance, music, video and textile work and is to be found in the context of the theatre, the museum and beyond. Piña is a pluri-faceted artist working through choreographic and dance research, creating, curating and working within university and artistic educational frameworks, writing and editing publications around what she refers to as ‘endangered human movement practices.’  Her work has been presented throughout Europe and the Americas.

The sessions are a collaboration between Ravnedans and PRODA Agder.
