Contemporary Dance VIII (Release)

Contemporary VIII is based on Release Technique and information from other techniques such as Limon, Laban, Yoga and Pilates. The course focuses on deepening the knowledge about Release technique, such as gaining speed through letting go of muscular tension and developing movement patterns into more complex combinations with varying speeds and dynamics. The students will intensify the search for connections in the body and connect movement to the breath of the body in order to enlarge the range of dynamic changes. A focus will be on personal approach to movement through improvisation and research as well as on the execution of more complicated movement patterns using the combination of floowork and travelling through vertical positions.

Learning outcomes:
  • trust gravity whilst sustaining strong in the center of the body
  • let breath travel and expand the movement
  • stabilize the basic body positions even in complicated combinations
  • let energy travel and connect movement without being imprecise
  • release without being weak
  • apply coordination and precision in difficult patterns
  • develop a personal approach
