body/material invites the participants to tune into the subtle body, through breathing and pulsating the connective tissues and slow activations, drawn from functional anatomy and Qi circulation techniques. The approach to anatomy is not essentialist, departing yet splitting from a bio-mechanical model, landing deeply in the felt sense. Every day the focus is brought to a system (eg.  technology of breath, heart center, gravity dynamics) to allow for this to grow into explorations or dances and dance/performance play.

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

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; trainingcurator@dansehallerne.dk

Maria F. Scaroni is a Berlin-based dance artist. She creates and interprets choreographic works
rooted in improvisational practices and altered states of consciousness. She re-purposes postmodern dance legacies towards technologies for mutual empowerment, crossbreeding somatic
practices and anti-oppression frameworks. Maria performs in Meg Stuart’s works with whom
she collaborates since 2009. After collective Lecken, an erogenous queer rave, she has been
hosting Social Pleasure Center, a community space for somatic post-activism.
