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.

Dance improvisation & performative practices Being here. In your body. In this room. In this group. Experiencing the moment and sharing it directly through dance. How does it feel to really be here? Opening our senses, we become available to ourselves, to perception, inspiration, transformation, evolvement, encounters. What is true now? Our body and our awareness serve as our home base and as our instruments at the same time. Everything that is immediately present can become our material, our toy, for improvisation.

There is always something here, the material is infinite. An arm, a door, a stumbling step, an intersection, a sense of longing, a smile. Nothing special. And yet all of this may become meaningful because we give it our attention. What does it mean for you to dance and create? When we are connected to ourselves in our bodies, we are somatically rooted - each of us individually and all of us as an ensemble.

These roots allow us to move into creating, playing and composing the moment. Dance is a fleeting form, but through our presence, we can fully experience this point in time and space and make a choice: In this abundance of possibilities, what emerges? What do we choose to express? Performative practice as an exploration of our embodied reality becoming visible and shareable.
