Expansive Radiant Body (Waiting list)

Live Workshop with Kianí del Valle
In the frame of Sommer Tanz 2021

In this workshop we will focus on awareness of the psyche and how it informs our physicality. With eyes closed, we begin with improvisation as a form of guided, physical meditation. This warm up offers possibilities to sync with our individual groove, allowing exploration of movement repercussions that start at the body's core and reach out externally. We connect emotions with movement, and travel to proper phrasing exercises through Dynamic Release Technique, animal-like floorwork, spirals and turns. Tension is used as staccato and relaxation as legato. Through musical anatomical efficiency, we finally arrive at the "Available Body," where we connect quality, detail and transitional phrasing with the external space surrounding our bodies. All elements weave together in a choreography that covers internal, conceptual, physical and environmental expansion.

Please note: The workshop will be held live in the studio under the measures in place at that time. If this is not possible there will be an online version in any case. Therefore, the number of participants is limited. More information about the measures will be continuously updated on the website and communicated by mail shortly before the workshop starts.
