Dantzagunea

For professional dancers and movement artists (aged 18 and over).
€60 (€50 for ADDE or ARTEKALE members)

Through a combination of exercises, explorations and observations, the class will focus on floorwork, guided improvisation, instant composition (individually or in groups) and partner work.

The workshop will be based on the following principles: listening, gravity, connection, attention and play.

Through an exploration of rhythm, our engagement in movement and the efficiency of our actions, participants will be encouraged to observe their own movement and challenge their habitual practices and patterns as performers, beyond technical limitations. As the group progresses through space and time, we will focus on creating a safe environment that encourages risk-taking, exploring boundaries and pushing beyond them.

The overall aim of the workshop is for each participant to discover new boundaries according to their individual abilities and progress through the learning process, while exploring and developing their own movement practice.
