Technique and Improvisation Dance Classes – Body, Time and
Space all along
mit Fabiana Capriotti
Body , time and space classes are both
technique and IMPro classes where we warm-up, train and analyze
from the beginning of the class the awareness of these three
elements included in each body action . The class starts focusing
into body awareness and body´s relationship with space,
floor and concepts such as gravity and support; rolling and sliding
. Then we zoom into the body anatomy (bones, joints , the spine,
the hip joint, the pelvis , the shoulder girdle or the extremities),
their function, connections and qualities to refine our movement
capacities and improve our skills. Clarity, simplicity of movement,
inhibition of habit will be our search.
We will also train deeply into perception of space and real time
composition. Exploring, perceiving, and analyzing Space. Here
and Not Here. And exploring , perceiving and analyzing Time.
Real time in actions / movements. How long. When. The present
and all the other possible time references coming out of the
Now. Time of Perception. Sensations as Present.

Zeitgenössischer Tanz
mit Romain Guion
The class includes elements of Release/ Limon technique, Cunningham
technique, Yogic philosophy, breath exercises and simple yoga
practise.
The aim of combining these different elements is to focus on
body/mind awareness, breath control and energy. Combining floor
work and technical, dynamic combinations, all supported by the
breath, the class works on the cardiovascular system and increases
stamina. The focus is also placed on the anatomy of movement
and physiology (for example connection head/sacrum) and on body
in space.
Motto: Through a structured contemporary class, dancers are invited
to find power, energy and quality of movements in relaxation.

Zeitgenössischer Tanz
mit Heidi Weiss
# Heidi Weiss teaches a dynamic Contemporary class which
combines technical exercises with release, flowing sequences.
Her training begins with basic yoga poses, focusing on breath
and clarity.The warm- up continues with exercises that focus
on creating length and volume in the body.
Particular attention is given to center (core), pelvis and feet
placement/ articulation, as well as freedom and flexibility of
torso and the back.
(curves, twists, spirals-)
The use of weight remains a central aspect of her style.Through
the fusion of fluidity and groundedness,students are encouraged
to take risks,testing both physical and spacial boundaries.
Rhythmic combinations, adage phrases and floorwork are all elements in her class. These more moving exercises aim to challenge the students ability to change timing, directions, and movement quality quickly.
As the class progresses, movement
themes are expanded into spacial combinations.Emphasized is the
ability to travel in the space- letting go of conventional forms
while still applying technique.
Other class objectives include developing personal style of moving,
picking up material quickly and establishing an awarness of focus.
Her class is structured, moving, challenging and FUN!!

Zeitgenössischer Tanz
mit Luis Lara Malvacías
TECHNICAL CLASS DESCRIPTION:
The class begins with a simple warm-up focusing on the breathing,
internal structure, weight and the body's articulations. Directed
exercises and suggested improvisations give the opportunity to
each of the students to observe and experience their own particularity
and range of mobility. As the class progresses we look to integrate
the parts of the body and the use of the floor. A grounded, alert
body will be prepared for a dynamic phrase material that involves
focus on the details, dropping in and out of the floor and fast
changes of direction and levels. The class sometimes ends with
an individual manipulation of the provided phrase. This class
is the result of personal investigations and is influenced by
many years of study and work with Jeremy Nelson, Barbara Mahler
and Susan Klein, and more recently Alexander Technique™
and BodyMind-Centering® .

Zeitgenössischer Tanz
mit Jessica Jobaris
This class takes 3 right turns. By combining dance, yoga/bodywork,
improvisation and theater, the class begins by centering the
breath with movement, in a yoga influenced dance based warm up,
which gradually moves into more physically challenging floor
work/improvisation thru space, and is finally followed by explorations
of dynamic phrase work. Committing to incorporating the emotionally
expressive body, the aim is to refine articulate dancing while
simultaneously nurturing individual freedom of artistic/intuitive
choice-making. Consciously finding/using space as the supportive
partner assists us in driving into states of physical and emotional
authenticity. The movement style facilitates the coherence between
structure and chaos; physically & emotionally. The aim is
to relax while in motion, to get the thinking out of the way
so surprising moments can take place.
