3&4.03.18 / GARAGE29 workshop
In the Morning session we will focus on a warming up together, which includes exercises about awareness, strengthening and flexibility. It will be followed by the technical part of static handstand and handstand in movement in a progressive way.
Depending on the group in this section we either focus on handstand or acrobatic movement approach.
By repeating we will bring in progressively higher technic demanding movement.
In the afternoon session we will jump directly into technique, phrasing, combining material and some creative approach.
Technical exercises and improvisation is included.
Depending on the group we will find a way to challenge everybody and we might split up in groups and work more “individually”, as far as possible.
We finish each day by warming down together and some relaxation work.For whom?The workshop demands a level of physical availability and some previous knowledge in movement and basic handstand or acrobatics.
In general exercises and work is individually adaptive and have their evolution.
VERENA SCHNEIDER
Handbalancer and Performer
I am a circus based (handbalancer) movement artist. Throughout my circus education in Italy (FLIC 2011-13) and France (LE LIDO 2013-15), my own work and some dance education got to know different uses and different thought about exercises.
“In the last 3 years I tried to find my place in between dance and circus. Personally I am also interested in the therapeutic and social effect of our physical and creative practice.
By time and age we have to adapt our practice of the aging body and life changing moments, so how do we stay creative trained share and learn from the things that happened.”Through the class, we will seek our body physically to go toward a self-transcendence and find ways to recycle, renew our energy beyond exhaustion while remaining in motion.
The class will be mainly based on floorwork technics, inspired by flying low and others approaches by using the floor as a dance partner. With those technics, we will seek to better understand our mechanics, the physical laws that govern our movement, in search of a field of richer possibilities in our dance and out of our comforts zones.
We will then, through different exercises, dance phrases and improvisations, overcome our limits, our personal boundaries and bring our physical and bodily skills to another level.What interests me is to see how far the human body can go without physical damage. It will be a very physical, dynamic and emotional experience that will connect the body and the mind.
