Kurs with Julie Carrere

This class combines improvisation, movement research and the practice of specific movements on the floor and in standing which is leading into a combination. The participants are invited to connect with their sensations and the idea of honesty in their movement. Giving up of expectations will allow each individual to make their body more available to process information and move more freely. Focusing on musicality, coordination, release, and fluidity, this class aims to give tools for the students to enjoy and enrich their practice. The warm up is improvisation based and an invitation for the dancers to bring their attention inwards to notice their present state and their breath. The improvisation proposition is open to various interpretations and is allowing everyone to follow their own intuition and impulses. The second part of the class leads to a movement phrase and is introduced by a practice in repetition of specific movements. The focus is then on finding mobility and understanding mechanisms in the body. Julie will facilitate this exploration by inviting the participants to find efficiency and softness in dynamic movements.
