Workshop Description:

Whilst choreography usually deals with the aspect of doing in dance, in this practice, we are shifting our focus to the aspect of being in dance and performance on stage. We are heightening our awareness of our own body and the space around it. We are learning how to use our mental and emotional present moment state as a starting point from which we can connect to our performance tasks. We are improving our

ability to shift between different states on stage. Through a series of guided improvisations, we are training our ability to unite the mental, the physical and the emotional; being and doing; choreography and presence.

How can we be present? dropping the mind into the heart, the Heart into

the source.

Through many years of experience and dedication to dance, I explore an exceptional approach towards movement research that shades light into grammar within physicality, and at the same time gives importance and draws attention to the content it produces. Thus, solutions are directly found within the bodies themselves.

Part of my practice centers around a better understanding and developing and finally even mastering the creation of an „interpret-body“. A body that is transparent and aware of the delicate shifts that occur inside and outside of it.

My practice proposes a framework that cultivated and expands one‘s connection to oneself, the others, the environment. It establishes a gentle presence through attention and emphasis on exposing the(moving)bodies, while encouraging an intelligent and sensitive conceptual and emotional research of what is happening.

An art of moving, that implies a state of high exposure, friction, poetic and vigorousness.
