Listening bodies med Nina Wollny

Join Wollny for this special opportunity to spend a whole class dedicated to exploring movements in connection with a partner. We will start by exploring aspects of our own body through which we connect to the space, the forces that move us and our motivation to move. Then we will continue to play some of my favorite partner and group games and activate listening, alertness, touch, exchanging and sharing with each other. In the next part we will move through several exercises that explore full interdependence in different ways as well as lifting. You get to try out some specific movements and lifts that we will put together into a short sequence, a dance with a partner, that combines everything we worked on during the class.

Om Nina Wollny

Nina Wollny studied modern and contemporary dance at the Rotterdam Dance Academy, now Codarts, in the Netherlands. After her graduation in 2002 she joined the company anoukvandijk dc and has worked there as dancer, rehearsal director and artistic assistant for more than 10 years. Since 2012 Nina is working with different choreographers in Europe amongst others she is regularly performing and collaborating with German choreographer Jenny Beyer at Kampnagel in Hamburg, Germany. In Norway she works with Mia Habib Productions, BodyCartographyProject and others. Nina started teaching when she was 15 as a way to deepen her own understanding of dance. In 2004 she became a Countertechnique teacher and has taught those classes and workshops in many different places until 2021. Now she is following her own interests in sharing movement and dance and how it relates to the form and function of the body, through a process that is not looking for a solution or a universal answer. But rather exploring a practice of finding questions together and letting them resonate in movement and vibrate in our bodies.
