CONTEMPORARY DANCE TECHNIQUE by Martina Nevistic Class will start with warming up and raising awareness of body parts through dynamic form of yoga and various body work techniques (Alexander, Klein, Feldenkreis). We will work on the dynamics of movement through space at different levels and in relation to other people. We will engage our bodies through different sequences of movements within the contemporary dance discipline. The movement is based on anatomical start up. The starting point is the skeleton and its logic of elongation, assimilation, softness, extension, speed, strength. Movement itself is based on vertical drop, spiral and liner elongation as focus of movement through the action-reaction, release-catch of body parts in the whole run of movement. We put emphasis on the most effective way to be faster, more precise and elongated in movement using only the necessary muscle groups, which is with how much relaxation we can achieve a given starting point of movement. During workshop we will deal with awareness of ourselves and people in space, space levels in the group and individual tasks, through fun and improvisation. Developing a personal dance material as well as work on a guided improvisation through which dancers after a certain time enter into the domain of their own creativity, innovation and expand the already known dance vocabulary.
