Holistic Dance is an invitation to transformation through dance, movement and touch. We work with a dynamic, cross-method approach from dance pedagogical, dance- and body therapeutic, systemic and holistic methods. Authentic Movement Plus, Contact Improvisation, Somatics & Applied Anatomy, Contemporary Dance Improvisation, Ecosomatics and many other elements can be found in this approach.

This workshop:

Poetics, composition and use of language in dance. In this intensive we dedicate ourselves to articulation, composition and the use of body and language. We always start with the body, through dance, movement and touch we find our individual expression. Then there is the invitation to creative a flow with and through the spoken language, sometimes between free flowing, structured or written. We work with the elements of dance: body, space, time and force and include the full spectrum of compositional options.

We also address our communication messages, both physical and linguistic, and how to be clear, accurate and non-judgmental to our dance partner and the group, in order to be creative with each other.
