  • Thank you, this is beautiful! I remember when I was in Birmingham there was a Leeder/Joos class and I always found it beautiful to watch. I wonder where you can train in this technique nowadays.

  • @carles03 You can take class at the Folkwang University in Essen - with Lutz Förster. I teach a class in London but it is coloured by many experiences,

    best regards

  • It was all improvised by the pianist Phillip Feeney,

  • @snvivianen Thank you for the information. Once again, let me say it is a wonderful class and I hope LCDS have kept this technique in their curriculum because it is unique.

  • It's nice to see videos of contemporary or modern dance on youtube. But I wonder...you write that this is a Jooss/Leeder class? Given by...? I was a student at Folkwang and have danced with Pina Bausch. My teachers were Züllig and Cebron and I've never seen these exercises. They remind me more of...well, nothing very scientific; a bit of Wigman, classical, Graham

  • Oh Gosh this takes me back, when you see the muscular articulation and intensity of technique that used to be taught at The Place you realise how much has been lost in the past 20 years.

  • lovely piano work!!! Anyone know its name?
