Preis: 65 Euro (55 ermäßigt)

In this workshop, we will focus on the awareness of our body, and
surroundings. I would like to awaken some parts we might have forgotten as
like our some habits, during we are unconsciously moving.

Starting exercises from Body Tuning, we will explore the dimensional
alignment, through kinesthetic experience of movement and energy flow.

Improvisation work starts points of the awareness and observation of the
body, space, time and surrounding situations. We will explore how those
different elements interact or affect each other, in the structure or non
structure performing form.

Through this workshop, we control or not control our body and feelings when
we move (play / perform) as a observer at same time. So that we will open
another eyes that watch oneself during performing, and find far beyond
capability of movements are also a part of space.

 

 

Body Tuning (placement, body awareness)

I am interested in seeing the body as the instrument that you play with and
see how it‘s parts functioning in movements.

Consciously using the body through exercises, that awakens inner sensations,
and trains the awareness of own body which how to relate with inner and
outer focus while moving.

Using some imaginations, to give the different directional points in space
that connect to some body parts, those points initiate movements without too
much muscle effort (force).
We will observe how own habits made the certain posture or the way of
movements.
We will explore the dimensional alignment, through kinesthetic experience of
movement and energy flow.
Once you get the idea of how does your body function, you will find another
capability in your movements.

The exercises starts on the floor include stretching, breathing, and
combining ideas and elements of yoga, Alexander Technique and floor barre
(movements).

This work focuses on finding a balance of releasing and strengthening of
your body.

 

Improvisation

This work starts points of the awareness and observation of the body, space,
time and surrounding situations. We will explore how those different
elements interact or affect each other, in the structure or non structure
performing form.

- Drawing into space - dimensional works
We will start working individually to see how the body or movements
describe in the space.

- Volume of movements in time and space
Consciously move to change the dynamic of movements.

- Observing each other (realizing from feedback)
to see ones way (own habits), and how it works in terms of time, space and
the circumstance in the situation .

- Body talk
Working in the small group, to see how we communicate with movements each
other.

- Contact improvisation
Moving, sharing movements and space with partner.

- Playing with character, acting, detail of body parts movement, and
behavior.

We will work in different subjects that can open these awareness and take
into the complementary work.
