Dance Move Fly
Contemporary dance and contact improvisation
April 3rd – 5th, 2020
Friedrichshafen
Motto: Solo – Duo – Trio – Quattro
Dancing is a joy of movement and creativity, confidence in your own physical expression, clarity, lightness and above all presence.
Being awake at the moment, full of energy and liveliness and getting involved in relationships.
Alone, in couples and in a group, we create stories and images … Each constellation has its own techniques and attentions. Experiments, exploration and games help us understand how relationships work in different constellations on stage. Let yourself be touched and moved, immerse yourself in the senses, perception training, a room full of creativity, uniqueness and wildness is created.
In a solo we deal with the relationship to ourselves. Who am I? Where am i in the room inside – outside. Strengthening the center of the body, walking from the floor to the stand, from the stand to the floor, travelling through space … Dare the extraordinary. Fast and slow, serious and playful, wild and gentle, sometimes acrobatic and upside down and then again with both feet firmly on the floor.
Leaving the habit behind, finding your own flow, an urgency and a presence that makes us fly and sets us free.
The duo is all about getting involved, listening, going with the moment or not … Feel the partner’s movements, follow them or immediately take them in as an impulse – experiment, risk new things. Losing balance, falling, close to close, expecting me, losing your head. Out of the comfort zone and into risk! Disorientation as a creative potential.
Trio and Quattro create increasingly complex situations. How do I deal with chaos? How do I give form and clarity to my movement? How do I keep clarity? Where is the focus of the action in the room?
Self-efficacy, not hesitating, arriving, principles like sharing weight or using the momentum, rolling, turning, jumping are a basic repertoire that we get to know and use.
We work on presence, alignment and coordination, orientation in time and space and develop more and more strength, permeability and suppleness in body and mind.
We find out what makes dance on stage touching, what it opens up in us, where it challenges us? It can be the key to very touching moments, even touching states of mind. Completely unplanned and surprisingly we discover the depths of our being human. Sometimes unmasking, sometimes hilarious, almost always liberating.
The aim is to provide a basic tool for dance, with which you can then continue to work and experiment in your own groups and classes.
All levels! The content can be transferred in many ways, e.g. in theater work or other artistic, social or therapeutic contexts.
