Technique
Aims of the class:
- to learn to create and memorize sequences of movements using various systems of axes: breath, tactual sensation, skeletal structure, perception of external factors, etc;
- to figure out causes of castration and formalization of movements and find technical methods of avoiding that.
In the first part of the class, major attention will be paid to coordinating breath and movement and becoming aware of this connection.
Part of the process will be dedicated to work with constant change of levels (from parterre to jump) through a sensation of continuity and multidimensionality of the body movements in space.
In the final part of the class we will create dance combinations and compositions moving from simple to more complex ones. We will examine and analyze in practice how the movement quality changes within the familiar material depending on the focus of attention of the performer.
