DESCRIPTION

The course is dedicated to Improvisation dance practices as research for cultivating embodied knowledge towards more authentic bodily awareness and for creating unique, visceral, and intentional gestures and scores in contemporary dance practices, research, and performance.

This dynamic course consists of different cycles with different dance artists who practice various forms of contemporary improvisational dance. Each improvisation cycle will experiment with the relationship between the body and space, the interaction with other dancers' bodies, and the stimuli coming from both internal and external factors: sound, music, scores, space, and the city.
