Centre – Periphery – Centre
Every pulse is nourished from its centre to the periphery. Movement also has a trajectory from its centre point to its extensions and back to the centre. In my approach, the body becomes a geographic map of trajectories, surfaces, landscapes and channels for information to travel, as the centre is shifting constantly. We will begin with awareness exercises which involve intuitive movement in order to acknowledge the sensations, textures and feelings that are present in the body. We will arise a dialogue between the body and mind, transmitting images into actions in space. We will explore the mechanism of simple and complex movement patterns, by giving tasks in relation to space, to another body, to the initiation of movement, muscle tone, rhythm, musicality, performativity and more. In my class I encourage clarity in movement as well as making conscious decisions in a given form or in improvisation.
My teaching is inspired mostly from principals of floorwork, partnering work, martial arts and rock climbing. We will work on releasing without collapsing, developing new coordination, stamina, creativity and alertness in dance.
