Redefining Technique Classes
In this class we give attention to our methods of perception. Through improvisational exercises, instant composition and phrase work, we investigate how to access and navigate our sensations in parallel to our functional, mechanical and anatomical bodies. How can my impulses or external stimuli inform my body and mind? How can my affects become a translatable movement language ? A search for the specificity and singularity of one's body in relation to the group and tasks at hands. The class develops slowly to prepare the body, the mind, and your whole being to move more consciously. It aims to investigate your personal expression within a shared space of exploration within a clear evolutive frame of work.
Workshop Sensory Reconnection : a study on interaction workshop
In this movement workshop we discover how improvisational and compositional tools for dance can emerge through collaborative practices. I guide you through task oriented exercises which enable us to reconnect to our sensorial capacities : to look, to touch, to converse, to hear and to imagine together new approaches to dance. Drawing on the ethics and principles of permaculture, this workshop invites to introspection, intimate forms of expressions and questions: How do I situate myself ? How do I relate to my immediate and/or imaginary surroundings? This workshop is aimed at anyone who is curious about (re)discovering their senses through learning, observing and interacting.
Workshop Rosas Repertory A Love Supreme
This workshop explores the balance between structured material and improvisational freedom. We focus on learning set phrase work and how to use them as a basis for structured improvisations. Participants will work on connecting with each instrument to develop rhythmic and melodic response to John Coltrane’s most spiritual and influential oeuvre. We work on incorporating both pre-composed material and open, creative exploration. This repertory workshop provides tools to integrate improvisation within a structured framework, encouraging personal expression within the work. In relation to these repertory materials, participants must be comfortable with contact and collaborative work.
Soft Partnering Workshop
Drawing from the intimate duet Sotto Voce, this workshop focuses on improvisational structures and partnering principles. We prepare the participants to simple notions of gravity, weight shift, resistance. The notion of touch is approach here as to understand our own autonomy with the support of the other. In this workshop, the participants then discover partnering skills with a softer approach. Instead of focusing on acrobatic skills and spectacular set of partnering moves, we aim to deconstruct the notion of force and focus on precision, care and attention to oneself and others. Listening, caressing, holding, embracing, encompassing,... applying these set of motion as useful and practical principles for partnering.
