The class will start with a floor barre working on fluidity and tonicity. We will then through various techniques aboard the space with an accent put on rhythm, off-balance and level-works (floor-air).
The last part of the class will call upon the imagination of each participant to find for himself/herself the inner motivation of his or her movements leading to the construction of a character that will then be shortly performed during a composition-improvisation sequence.

Zeitgenössischer Tanz
mit Nir de Volff / TOTAL BRUTAL
www.totalbrutal.netIn the last few years De Volff's contemporary dance class has been invited to several companies and dance-centers.
it devolped its own USE ABUSE warm-up system that fits every kind of body-type of both professional dancers and none professional dancers.
The class starts with deep massages from zero energy level and develops itself into an exctremly hight level of energy with the TOTAL BRUTAL's movements vocabulary.
Nir De Volff, born and raised in Israel, started dancing in the local folk dance group at the age of fourteen and got kicked out after less than a year. At the age of fifteen, he began ballet instruction under the direction of a former Romanien ballerina and ran away after three months. However soon after, the dancing virus attacked him again, and at the age of sweet sixteen he joined the professional school Bat Dor, in Tel Aviv. There he danced for four years with a group of ambitious younger, skinnier dancers.
After three years in the army, De Volff danced in several companies in Tel Aviv, worked in a restaurant to make his living, and created for the first time his own piece at age 23. He also performed as a guest in Pina Bausch's "Viktor" during her Israeli tour.
He left Israel's daily political stress and moved to Amsterdam: the Mecca of European beginners. For the next few years De Volff received consistent support from the production house DWA. In 2003 he moved to Berlin, joined the company of Constanza Macras and found a warm place at Dock11 Artist's residence.
In 2004, he grounded TOTAL BRUTAL and created "DOLLY", a trilogy performed in Prague, Amsterdam, and Berlin.
Since then he has worked with a variety of artists and theaters in Berlin such as the performance grup She She Pop at Hebbel am Ufer theater.
In the summer of 2007 he collaborated with Knut Berger and Sahara abu Gosh on the piece "3SOME", produced with the support of Dock11

BUDOFLUX TECHNIQUE
mit Howard Katz
Budoflux is a movement system that incorporates martial arts principals into dance. In this class, we will develop a strong and flexible ki, or inner strength, by learning certain age-old breathing exercises. You will learn to dance through an extreme range of speeds, make fluid transitions between stillness and quickness, and develop new perspective on the density and attack of your phrasing. The technique will teach you to work with your weaknesses as well as your strengths, thereby enhancing the function of your own specialized skills and providing you with a stronger, more efficient and injury-resistant body. The class leads the thinking body of the practitioner through a continuous sequence of movement, breath and concentration.
