Description
We will focus on handling composition in a present moment by balancing between our physical vocabulary and our listening to dynamics and activity around us. Improvising with form, rhythm, touch and resonance; we will tune the body through our physiology, imagination and ability to enjoy the making of dance. Our movement will be looked at through the eye of 'dance-writing' and choreography, inviting performative states as we work with directions and tasks independently and at a high level.
Biographies
Maya M. Carroll
Maya Matilda Carroll is a choreographer, dancer and mentor, based in Europe since 2004. For over 18 years she has been creating independent work; from solo to extended group pieces, which she presents all over Europe and worldwide. In 2011 Maya formed The Instrument with her partner, composer / musician Roy Carroll. In her work Maya expresses human conditions intimately and universally; seeking a deeper connection to the (mystery / reality of) self, other/s and to nature. Working independently as well as being commissioned to create pieces for state theaters, independent companies and dance academies, Maya leads master classes and workshops in Europe and abroad, extensively developing her teaching alongside her artistic work; drawn from and towards the limitless expression of the dancing body. www.theinstrument.org
