CONTEMPORARY DANCE TECHNIQUES by MARGARETA FIRINGER
3/12-6/12, 10:00am-11:30am
In this lesson, we will mainly work on dance improvisation. Our goal is to stimulate the imagination through physical tasks, breaking personal movement patterns and physically exhausting an idea. The first part of the class will direct us to listening to our own body, articulation and stimulating imagination, with the aim of achieving a playful and curious body.
In the second part of the class, we will devote ourselves to working in pairs, in groups, and in different ways of listening and reacting to the group in order to achieve a certain effect, goal or atmosphere.

FINDING YOUR OWN GROOVE by MARIN LEMIĆ
9/12-13/12, 10:00am-11:30am
In this class we will employ our own creativity for improvisation, focusing on coordination and mobilisation of the spine, joints, head, and the whole body within space. We will explore different rhythmic patterns and articulation through various structured dance sequences using floorwork. We will focus on breathing, musicality and awareness of the whole body and finding your own freedom and “groove” within “your” dance movement.
