In English/German
Moving is being moved: dancing gets us going, carries us away, inspires us and lets us connect with ourselves and others. This class offers to deepen the individual technical and artistic approach, accompanied by the simple joy and pleasure of dancing together with the music.
Individually, but also in couples and groups, through exercises in standing or on the floor, in improvisation and with learned movement material or dance movement phrases, we will deepen the technical potentials of the body together, make the anatomical processes conscious and develop qualities, in order to experience an artistic process.
In terms of content, we will explore different approaches to contemporary dance, insights from somatic practices, somatic psychology, and choreographic practices.
Can‘t stop moving! gives energy and artistic input for the next months!
