Practice and Romanticism in CI

When I teach I offer only those things which I know how to dance and love to dance. Observing my dance I discover my endless curiosity for spirals in movement, and my aspiration to be light and to fly.

For me CI is a dance which can bring joy and pleasure and a discipline which develops the body. In this workshop I want to separate practical and emotional sides of CI.Practice:

  • Movement that brings understanding of how the body is  organized and how it can move.
  • Elements of contemporary dance to explore pathways of Clear, efficient movement with minimal effort.
  • Elements which came to CI from Aikido.
  • We will take time to work with weight. From the small dance to lifting.

Romanticism:

  • Techniques which help us to release, tune into our dance, such as bodywork, authentic movement.
  • Images and metaphors which inspire our dancing
  • Practice of being attentive to the atmosphere in space and its weather.
  • Co-creating with a partner
  • Composition and improvisation – widening our choices, using eyes, ideas and playfulness.
