Currents of imagination & motion

For whom:
For movement lovers of all levels who wish to explore, embody and enhance their dancing

Content:
These 4 classes offer an in-depth exploration of the spine: a fascinating living structure in our body that communicates to the outside world as well as to our inner landscape.
Each session investigates a specific aspect of the spine such as its relation with gravity, the hip joints, the eyes or the space.
As a dynamic, three-dimensional core it supports both, grounded and aerial movements, fostering flow, balance and articulation in our dancing. Experiencing the spine as a channel for energy and imagination allows our actions to become more vivid and meaningful as they radiate into space. Moving with this awareness increases ease and immediacy within our actions and choices; we are ready to walk, roll, fall, curl, fold, dive, jump, fly as we dance and make dances. Come, catch the current of your imagination & dancing!

What can you expect?
- Exploration of anatomical images, touch and partner work, help refining your embodied understanding (“your physical experience”) of the spine’s structure and biomechanics, and how they support mobility and movement.
- Through simple actions such as rolling, crawling, and walking, we explore how spinal movement engages the whole body while simultaneously stimulating our imagination.
- Individual, partner, and group explorations lead into dancing and improvisation, facilitating further integration of the experience into our bodies.
- At times, music is played to enhance your dancing
