Samtidsdans med Nina Wollny

Exploring and learning about the human body and how the different parts collaborate can have a strong and sometimes even magical impact on our presence, perception and therefore on our movement. Opening our body to this heightened state of awareness can enrich, strengthen and inspire the way we dance. The class will be based on one topic related to the human body from a small simple detail to bigger connections within the organism. The topic will be explored by looking at visual material, free physical exploration and guided exercises. We will also explore some of the topics in connection with a partner taking care of yourself to take care of each other and learning about your own body through the other. There is the possibility for the class to gradually accumulate into a movement phrase, that plays with all levels of space, speed, flow and the forces that move us. Or into an open space for own exploration, physical reflection and taking care. I am looking forward to start the day dancing with you.
