LABAN in the AIR
In this workshop we will work with our potential to move from an authentic resource and our connection with our environment. Through different principles of the Laban/Bartenieff System we will explore our Moving Self in dance; as Dynamic Alignment, Core Support, Developmental Patterning and Rotation. Each concept will be presented through simple experiential movement platforms that awaken the body’s attention to its functional anatomy and it’s presence in space. We will work with awareness to the different categories body, effort, shape and space.
In the second half of the workshop we will investigate our personal dance in relation to inner experience, contact to nature and in contact with other dancers. This will involve shared partner dances (Contact Improvisation), witnessing each other in authentic dances (Authentic Movement) and building a personal and meaningful solo in contact with the stunning surrounding of water, earth, mountains, stars, moon and sun. The workshop will be balanced in exertive and recuperative parts. The joy of moving, our authentic ways of dancing, contact with what is surrounding us and who is surrounding us will be important keystones in this work. They will shape the unique connections with our inner and outer landscape in dance. This workshop is open to people of all levels in dance.
