EMBODIMENT OF ARCHETYPES AS A TOOL FOR DANCE IMPROVISATION 

 

I suggest focused and creative group research, which leads to internal journey at the same time. Body practice will put attention on strength, flexibility and breathing exercises as integration of somatic practice (experiential anatomy and self-massage), pilates, yoga and contemporary dance techniques. The aim is to achieve greater control of attention, body alignment, sensing the body and concentration on further work with archetypes. 
We will use archetypes in combination with basic astrological elements as improvisation tools. Each class - training- will be structured in exploring the tools individually, in pairs and in a group. 
Basic elements of the workshop:
* basic characteristics of 8 archetypes which we will use as tool for qualities&emotions in dance improvisation: Athlete, Artist, Child, Victim, Gambler, Mediator, Prostitute, Saboteur

* the use of planet energies as tool to approach TIME in dance
* the use of sign energies as a tool to approach SPACE in dance
* embodiment of archetypes as a tool to play with QUALITY&EMOTIONS of movement 
Participants will also get the full description of archetypes on which we will work during the session, before they arrive to a journey
