Morning class : GROUND YOUR STRENGTH 

The class will start from a soft and flowing work on the floor aiming for accuracy in patterns and in points of support. 

We will progressively explore contrasts between effort and release, between power and fragility. We will try to keep focusing on quality, on the « essence » of the movements while increasing the physical challenge of phrases. Each individual will search for the authenticstarting point to push its moving. As a whole , the class aims to build stamina and tries to reach a point of tiredness where the body drops its usual habits, its fears, its thoughts. That’s the place we will start working from for the afternoon.

Afternoon workshop : PERFORM THE INTENTION 

We will work on the idea of meaning through dancing. How do we focus on the intention we wanna share ? How do we emphasize it without demonstrating it ? How do we make sure it comes through ? How to carry an emotion, a « story » in our bodies ? How to invite an audience to dive into all we perform ? How do the look, the awareness, the dedication, the honesty, the simplicity matter ?
