Description
Contemporary Dance/ Asymmetrical-Motion – Sat 18 Sun 19 November 2023.
This method inquires through different perspectives into the agility of the body for its movement and displacement in space. Agility is understood here as the most effective way of using body mechanics in relation to energy, musculature and gravity.
The classes are organized in three different modes of relation with movement: observation of the encounter between body and task, deduction of the observed on one’s own and the other’s, and incorporation from deduction and experience.
