She has been invited as a guest teacher at a number of dance schools and companies in Russia and abroad since 2000. Her classes as well as her daily body practices are built on release based techniques. Tatiana has been an educational program manager in Moscow Dance Agency TsEKh since 2001. She has been making her own works since 2006. Her solos "To Fade Away Yesterday" and "Gallina Aquatica" were presented at various festivals in Russia and abroad including Rencontres chorégraphiques internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis in June 2008. Tatiana’s recent project is a collaboration work with Nick Sudnick, "patriarch" of Russian noise music.
Release Based Non-Technique
The main aspiration of my movement practice is formed by the essentials of the body awareness processes. I’m inspired by the achievements in the fields of New Anatomy (or Experimental Anatomy) and other practices which integrate mind and body; and my own stage and teaching experience.
The class consists of several parts. The beginning is focused on organizing anatomic and pictural perceptions of the body through work with a partner or improvisation. Then, the attention will be directed towards the practical use of these perceptions in simple exercises. The last part will involve a more spacious phrase, revealing the dynamic of freed movement flow filled with the "volumeness" of the body, softness of joints and articulations of the spine’s motion.
The idea of "non-technique" appeared in an attempt to avoid in the description any references to the "form", which is often associated with the term "technique"; and focus more on "the content", quality and flow.
