Workshop with Dominique Duszynski: Contemporary dance

22nd September 2012 at 1500 - 1700
Level: Dance Experience

WORKSHOP
Former Pina Bausch-dancer, Dominique Duszynski, proposes a dynamic and fluid dance made up of floor work and standing work. The first topic is to open the conscious of anatomical knowledge in dancing. Therefore, constructing and deconstructing body parts take an important place in the warming-up and in the building up of the dancing. Geometry, alignments, supports are developed in a high conscious of “grounding” but in the same time of “lightening” the body. Breathing, 3 dimensions, volume are developing space referring to Laban’s concepts. The relationship to the movement of the weight is always present, opening to musicality and instinct. The dance is proposed according to the art of movement inspired by Pina Bausch and by the elements of dynamic and space developed by Rudolf Laban.
During this workshop, Duszynski will propose improvisations opening to specific qualities of movements, and partnering according to defined type of relationship.
