Odile Seitz-Walser
Boundaries and sensuality, a dance of the skin

In these classes you will explore the skin, the first organ of touch through which we discover the world. It is the outer boundary that differentiates the physical body from other physical bodies around it, protects the soft tissue, maintains the outer form and enables communication. You will experience how contact with the environment and the other participants changes and becomes clearer.

How and what do you perceive through your skin and how does movement and the quality of movement change when the skin becomes more conscious? How does dance feel when it arises from the sensuality of the skin?

With the help of anatomical information, free movements, individually or in groups and hands-on, you will explore these questions. The result is a dance that combines the intimacy of inner sensations with the diversity of outer experiences and strengthens individual fullness, expressiveness and a sense of self and identity. Bring curiosity about yourself and your environment, and enjoy this great outer layer!

The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27 DK-1799 Copenhagen V in Studio 4.
