Every first Sunday of the month you can join an extended version of the Movement Class in Dansateliers. The class is an in-depth introduction to the movement material and working methods of the choreographers. By the use of physical exercises and tasks they will take you along an exploration in improvisation, performance and body-awareness. Professional dancer, amateur or never seen a dancefloor before? No problem, the lesson is open for everyone.
On February 2nd the movement class XL is taught by Kim Jomi Fischer and Marta Alstadsaeter. Kim and Marta met in 2015. Their different background, one is a contemporary dancer and one a circus-artist, sparked into a blooming collaboration. Since their first encounter they have been creating their own movement vocabulary, diving into the possibilities and qualities they find within they interplay. They create work that goed beyond the frames of their original disciplines but that starts from the physical communication between them.
In this Movement Class XL we’ll combine dance and circus techniques (hand-to-hand acrobatics). We start with bringing the body in a sensitive and listening state, which is important for the physically demanding nature of the work. Then we are ready to carry each other in a more efficient and lighter way, through our bone structures. We will especially focus on transporting weight through our centre and making ourselves available for being partnered. We will also focus on dealing with differences in body and mass, offer some tools from basic partnering acrobatics and build human structures.
We will practise all of this through a mix of repertoire, improvisation and the exploration of movement themes.
