By navigating through different dimensions and by nuancing our intensity, we explore the different shades of our dance....

 

Twist and Untwine: contemporary

 

In this workshop, we will connect to our groove through dynamics, fluidity and sensitivity of movements. Together we will twist and untwine our bodies, float through the space and wave through our intruments. We will explore the interest of rotations and the unlimited possibilities to shift our shapes and intuitions. We will let our bodies resonate our inner power and vibration by exploring different shades: structures- bones, articulations, muscles, surface and physically: qualities, gravitation, orientation. Furthermore we will let our physicality reverberates our imagination and our inner world. This session is a contemporary based style around improvisation and phrases to apply some concepts and explore further through restrictions. Welcoming every movers to resonate and flow through movements.

Perspective, Movement and Shades:

Through this workshop, we will approach instant creation in space in different ways: perspectives, movements and nuances. We will explore the importance of choices, instant creation and the movement of the mass through exercises. We will highlight the art of performative improvisation by questioning and exploring the different possibilities, perspectives and choices we can convey to an audience. We will work on decision-making, listening, suggestions and reactivity in a group.

Contemporary technique:

Through her training at the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary dance, Olivia practiced Cunnigham, Graham, Floor work, release, improvisation, partnering and composition. She kept developing her contemporary approach though different collaborations of art disciplines and movement styles. In her class, She push forward the aspect of diverse coordinations and dynamics by looking at the reactivity of interpretation and adaptation.

Ballet, Neoclassical technique:

With her Vaganova Ballet training from the Conservatoire de la Danse de Bruxelles and her Ballet training from the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary dance, Olivia adapts her classes depending on the technical demand and the fusion with contemporary approaches. Point work included.
