The Poetry of Motion - Improvisation and Partnering
Skills with
Kirstie and Christian will give classes in dance-improvisation, drawing from their knowledge of contact improvisation, dance techniques, the Japanese martial art form of Aikido and their extensive experience of improvisation in performance.
Their focus will be on exploring uninhibitedly the huge potential of the body's response to the primal urge to move, inspired by deep energies released
through human interaction, physical challenge and through the excitement of discovering new territory, new sensations and a daring to go beyond inherent ideas of
limitation.
The classes will be built on very simple physical principles allowing students to explore their experience of moving and to understand their own bodies more profoundly, which is often experienced as joyful and liberating.
Christian and Kirstie will be focusing on various aspects and techniques for freeing up the body - allowing it to move with greater ease and grace. They have both spent many years researching ways of moving, which generate full and fearless dancing, and both enjoy the challenges of intense physicality. They will be sharing their discoveries with students. The classes offer dancers a way in which they can extend
and deepen their experience of moving.
Kirstie has been a continuous explosion in the contemporary dance scene, bringing audiences into contact with the vitality of pure creation in moment after moment of virtuoso improvisation. Called "a force of nature" by the New York Times, she is an
award-winning dancer and teacher who has "immeasurably enriched and expanded the boundaries of New Dance" according to Time Out Magazine,
