CI and performance: visible-invisible, Alexandra Soshnikova and Sergey Golovnya


Alexandra Soshnikova and Sergey Golovnya


About masterclass: For this workshop we invite people who already know something about CI and have interest for research of the theme.

This workshop is built on experience, practices, researches and discoveries that happened to us in process and as a result of co-existence in our dance with each other… and also after a period of working together with Steve Batts, teacher, choreographer and dancer from Ireland.

What makes our dance visible?
What the quality of the dance depends on?
- on how ready is our partner to offer, accept, change position and situation in creation of dance.
- on ability to enjoy and control the game of different levels of nearness (horizontal and vertical)?
- on feeling spatial and temporal states?
- on our own listening and development of own movement?

These are only a few questions…
During workshop we will find the level of nearness to the answers,
Or maybe… find completely new answers – discoveries, their own for everybody.
