THE BODY AS A STATE OF MIND with Sabine Molenaar
I will offer different tools of improvisation and composition which I use in my own creation process. Mostly starting by using visualisation and breath to connect the mind and body and stimulate the imagination, to create a nourishing ground for researching state of mind and physical quality.
I’d like to share ways to: keep learning from the body by listening and exploring; don’t get bored with your own mind when an everyday creativity and awakened mind is required; keep a inspired and disciplined mind to expand the capacities of your body; create surprising directions by transformation of times, space and body.
PLAYFULL AND SHARP BODY with Piergiorgio Milano
As a teacher I propose a personal approach to contemporary dance mixing different ways of researching movement like fly-low, capoeira and release technique. In my life experience i’ve shifted from contemporary circus to contemporary dance exploring and sharing the work of international reknewed artists like: David Zambrano, Sidi Larby Cherkaoui, Roberto Olivan, Rodrigo Pardo.. I bring students through a very challenging physical experience which trough a playfull approach combines movement qualities, body states and set material.. My class is a good oportunity to improve strenght and stamina, to explore own creativity and to improve the capacity to deal with everyone’s own limits. The class is open to everyone that wishes to experience his own body as sensitive, playfull and powerfull instrument.
