Описание:
Този клас разглежда импровизационния танц като практика за разширяване на възприятието. Това е покана за тук и сега, за осъзнатост и за острофизическа осведоменост.
Чрез дишане, спокойствие и тишина в загрявката, ще започнем да позволяваме множеството сигнали от тялото ни и навлезем дълбоко в нашето преживяване във всеки един миг. Усетили тази сензорна комуникация, ще се движим и танцуваме в дълбока физическа резонанс с пространството и звука, както и в резонанс помежду ни. Ще работим с трансформирането на всичките си “внимания”/осезания чрез физичността и работата с присъствието на музиката.

Работен език е Английски с превод на Български при нужда.

Description:
This is an invitation into the moment, into mindfulness, and into acute physical awareness. This class approaches improvisational dance as a practice of expanding perception. Using breath, stillness, and quiet in the warmup, we will begin to allow a multitude of signals into our experience with each passing moment. Picking up communication, we will move and dance in deep physical resonance with the space, with sound, and with each other. We will work with shifting all of our different attentions through physicality and working with the presence of music. We will progress to performing for each other in partners and small groups.

Participants should be comfortable with partnering up for massage and touch exercises and coming into light contact with other dancers.
