Contemporary Training

Every movement counts’. The material of the class comes from different fields of dance and movement like contemporary dance, release, or contact improvisation. The class is designed to emphasize functionality and accessibility of the body’s architecture by investigating and utilising organic pathways of the body. By practicing set movement phrases and tasks, we will explore alignment, gravity, and momentum in both challenging and embracing ways. The rolling, walking, and skipping-hopping sequences will be used as vehicles to express these ideas through space, acting them in all possible directions.
