Contemporary Dance VI (Release)

This course is based on release technique and icludes information from other techniques. It will focus on moving on the floor. Easy exercises to find center in horizontal position, which lead to more complex combinations over the flor as well as standing up, finding connections in the body to get a flow in the movement. A main focus will be to work on the ability of not 'cutting' the energy of movement but transforming it and using it for next movement. The course will have another emphasis on initiating movement from the center while maintaining the alignment, especially in motion.


Learning outcomes:
  • giving weight and finding support from the floor, using the floor
  • finding and strenghtening the center of the body in the horizontal, revising body alignment
  • utilizing the breath in movement
  • analyzing connections in the body in order to get into a flowing quality of movement without being imprecise
  • using the space, exploring 'to move big'
  • predicting how much energy and muscle action is needed/not needed
  • applying different movement qualities and distinguishing between them
  • demonstrating a three dimensional quality of movement
