Bodystudy & Dance Improvisation

BODYSTUDY is an open method, based on exploration and improvisation tasks. It works with the focus on somatic observation and creative exploration as well as owning and experimenting with the four feelings anger, sadness, fear and joy. This method addresses not only the physical body, but also the mental, energetic, emotional and archetypal body.

This practice breaks habitual patterns of movement, thoughts, strategies and reactions. It trains different movement qualities and at the same time strengthens physical and mental endurance. The method is focused on principles and deep inner perception, to get a profound understanding of yourself, the connections and every new movement in your five bodies.
By exploring your own body through inner images, imagination and by physical observation tasks you can explore the unfamiliar and surprise yourself in every moment. At the same time you bring it in connection and navigate with your four feelings. The music serves as a source of inspiration and trains us in its precise handling. The continuously changing instructions create a space of experience, where you gain new physical, mental and emotional insights and source your energetic and archetypal wisdom.

This one hour warm up for all our five bodies opens the door for improvisation, playing, connection, interaction and discovering the field of unknown in touch with our four feelings. It is a playground to celebrate discovery and the beauty and richness of failing. It is a place to train the let go of expectations and create from the power and surprises of collaboration and collectiveness. We practice and experiment with feedback/coaching and authentic sharing individual, on pairs, small groups and everyone at the same time.

You can attend this workshop in any physical condition. This workshop is suitable for any level of experience in dance. Prior experience is not necessary.
