ANIMAL INSTINCT
Animal instinct is an ongoing movement research. The hardcore of this practice is to gain freedom in motion. By moving away from any ideology, style or form, we can reexamine our physical abilities with fresh eyes. The work refers to information from various movement disciplines (contact improvisation, martial arts, somatic practices & contemporary dance) and offers a wide spectrum of tools to study our body, to understand movement and communicate physically.
 

Topics we will explore/study: 

Body preparation (warm-up/cool-down)
Physical Adaptation
Flexibility and movement fluidity
Undulation and spiral patterns
Muscle tonus
Hands as feet and feet as hands
Reflexive awareness
Structural limitations & manipulation
Freedom in expression

We will work in various constellations (solo, duet or group work), studying the neverending possibilities that occur in dynamic improvisations. We will re-inhabit our dancing body and emerge ourselves into the flow of movement.
