Description

This workshop focuses on a strong physicality, aiming for the maximum of the dancers' potential. Blenard’s teaching deals with the transformation of movement and the building of deep dance vocabularies that derive from a conscious stepping out of our comfort zones. The parameters dynamics, sharpness and speed are therefore our main concern. In this way, the work aims to unveil and bring forward those unique features of our dancing personalities, which often remain deeply hidden.
