ReleasingExploringFinding, Gál Eszter
| About masterclass: | The workshop will offer studying the moving self through releasing work, (letting go, economy, image work, working with the breath), studying the stillness (listening and giving in to gravity) and observing the reflexes at work by following the natural laws of movements. We are going begin on the floor by listening to our inner sensations, practicing allowing and creating space in order to deepen into our inner landscape, explore our own dance then find our partner and meet. We will also practice simple moves that support safety and trust when taking physical risks. We are going to enter the dance in different ways and have long duets followed by guided feedback. The aim is to find physical answers to our “questions”. Let go, be ready and dance and by practicing the dance we will learn about composing with a sense of knowing. | | About Gál Eszter: | She is a dancer, teacher, choreographer and organizer.
