How does our use of imagery and instinct for imitation shape our dance?
To what extent can we move beyond the norms and patterns embedded in our dance in order to challenge and refresh our familiar pathways while moving both alone and with others?
Our bodies are a potential of constantly opening, muting and moving energy which naturally gets patterned in relation to its surroundings, with its culture, norms and routines. During the classes we are going to play with different kinds of imagery – both somatic and fantasy-like – to explore the possibilities of a bodily metamorphosis. We will play with the possibilities given by these different approaches and see how they will provide us with insights and inspiration we can apply to our artistic work.
We will also work in relation to physical contact with consent and explore tasks related to the concept of the space and distance. My proposal is to create a possibility for exploration with a playful mind open to trial and error.
The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27 DK-1799 Copenhagen V in Studio 3.
