Legs like arms and arms like wings
Training research of contact improvisation
The basic material for these classes will be working with deep body work and developmental movement patterns focusing on the hips and shoulders with a partner.
We will use parent -child patterns to look for the natural instinctual reactions imbedded in the body to support somebody and to be lifted. It will build up the structural support through the skeleton in order to be able to take physical risks.
We are going to explore the connection between the limbs and the center, and use it while dancing on the floor, in the air, and with a partner.
During this course we are going to reach unusual places by entering unknown trails in our dance, meet our limitations, and to find safe ways to go beyond our boundaries, in solo, with a partner and the group.
Qualities which I would like to awake and integrate into the dance are:
• Initiation and surrender
• Inertia as a source of energy
• Resistance and following the flow
• Risk and trust.
During this course we are going to reach unusual places by entering unknown trails in our dance, to meet our limitations, and to find safe ways for going beyond our boundaries, - in a solo, with a partner and in the group.
When I teach I give only those things which I know how to dance and love to dance. Observing my dance I discover my endless curiosity to spirals in movement and my aspiration to be light, to fly and to feel legs and arms like wings.
I recovered my childhood habits of creating relations with other people, such as trust, sincerity, openness and healthy selfishness. I am very interested to keep my dance vivid and live and, of course, to keep human touch in it.
I love the reality of dance the floor, my body and partners body, gravity and weight, and I love to move this reality between the sky and the earth.
