This class functions as a laboratory for embodied research, inviting students to engage in task-based improvisation as a method for questioning physical habits, exploring individual creative choices, and developing nuanced physicality.
Beginning with breath work and somatic grounding, the class progressively activates the body through a layered approach that integrates sensory attention, physical rigor, and conceptual awareness. Touch is introduced not as a passive element, but as a dynamic mechanism for opening, aligning, and transforming the body — an active massage that unlocks new physical pathways and perceptual states.
Through structured improvisations, students work with complexity, resistance, and articulation, fostering clarity in decision-making and depth in movement quality. The aim is to cultivate a critical, responsive body that thinks, listens, and moves with intention — one that navigates between intuition and precision in real time.
The classes are held at Dansehallerne, Franciska Clausens Plads 27 DK-1799 Copenhagen V in Studio 4.
