Gesine Daniels

About masterclass:

This class focuses on listening to touch, weight shift, momentum and breath as we bring our technical skills into dancing.
We practise to use all our senses and reflexes in order to be ready for the unexpected, to create skilful and playful dances in a sensitive dialogue with one or more partners.
Working with alignment and release, juicy centre and light limbs will help us to connect to the floor, the other dancers and the space and to find moments of suspended flying and falling together, of wild wrestling and delicate stillness as we dance together.

About Gesine Daniels:

Gesine Daniels is a choreographer, a dance teacher and a performer living in Germany.
She has been dancing since her childhood and practicing many forms of dance and movement from Ballet and Gymnastics to Contactimprovisation.
Since 18 years, CI together with improvisation is her passion; which influences her teaching and artistic work as well as in her daily life.
Her style of dancing and teaching Contactimprovisation is energetic, playful and sensitive.
Exploring the physics of the human body in movement fascinates her and the question of “how do we communicate in and through dance?“ is a big issue for her.
