In my class I will weave together and physically find a thread between things I’m interested in now, and past experiences and knowledge. A collage with my favourite exercises that I’ve learned from teachers and a fun combination of material from shows I have made as a choreographer will set the atmosphere of the room. Through sharing of attention oriented entrances in to movement, the thinking as a source of sensing, and doing, I want to propose links between the different tasks and invitations.
The first part of the class will be focused on a warm up, related to body awareness as the engagement with the perception and introspection will be the main focus. I will guide through own made up multitasking elements of somatic scores and practises, in relation to a word I call Tactilize. This word for me is coming from a show called ”A sensoral Lecture”, and is questioning the word visualize, and invite new ways of dancing with touch/tactility as a companion throughout the movements.
In the second part of the class I will teach a phrase or movement combination. This longer dance will give a frame where the experience from the warm up can be applied on and played with.
I often like to use the heart, eyes, and bones as main areas of attention, partially as a tonus of moving with, but also as a way to navigate and orient functionally. Some of the material and guidance will be inspired and coloured by current studies in Feldenkrais.
The class will include touch, slower improvised parts, moving in space with more dynamic and quick feet, and material to remember.
If you have access needs or special things you want to share with me before class, please contact me. My aim is to make the space inclusive and teach in a way we can do things accordingly to our own capacities.
