Contemporary Technique

Moving the body in space with clarity and purpose and utilising different physical tensions are the focus of this class. By experiencing unfamiliar states and ways of moving, we become reacquainted with our bodies and, as a result, enable ourselves to transform and break our own personal stereotypes. Imagination will help us to shift through various states, enriching our interpretation of movement and expanding the space around us. We will focus on various aspects of technique, such as alignment and fluidity, precision, and overall awareness of one’s own presence. Following the warm-up, which combines stretching and coming into movement on the floor, we will concentrate on phrases of choreography that bring together different levels of quality and tension, as well as a heightened sense of timing.
