Inspired by a continuous writing exercise, the classes could be seen as longer continuous moving exercises or maybe some sort of reversed authentic movement.
Through improvisation we will let movement flow through us (or get stuck until it becomes unstuck again), just like words when doing a continuous writing exercise. The focus is not what you do but to acknowledge what appears and passes through.
Expect breath, movement, voice and different senses to be activated as we check in with whatever scattered bodymind we have during these 3 days.
Please bring a pen and a notebook.
The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27 DK-1799 Copenhagen.
Dansehallerne has an elevator with step-free access to all floors. Accessible and gender-neutral toilets and wardrobes are available on the ground floor.
We kindly ask you to arrive 15 minutes prior to class in time for check-in with the QR code on your ticket.
All members can participate in Dansehallerne’s training activities – a year-round program with approximately 5 days of training per week and now also workshops every other week. This is for all professional members regardless of background in dance training, and it is also possible to participate in a drop-in class.
International guests can participate in training for free for up to 1 month. If you have comments or good tips for the training program, you can always send an email to the curators; trainingcurators@dansehallerne.dk
