About


The base of the class is about own movement research that develops from observing specific anatomical features of the body. Through visualisation of muscular-skeletal connections in the body we analyze the emergence of movement that forms and reacts based on the nature of the body system that we focus on. Forefront there is a movement principle through which anybody can (re)play own movement habits and potentials or try different ways of executing known, learned technical dance patterns. Anybody can develop own dance phrase from proposed field of research. And that can become an exercise for training dance embodiment, that focuses on anatomy. So that body can become more aware and fluid. So that your dance becomes more full and integrated.
