Instant Composition techniques

Instant Composition Class

During this class, we will explore the connections between the body and its internal and external environments, investigating the ongoing dialogue that exists among the body and the world.
From there, we will delve deeper into the relationship between the body and Earth’s gravity — exploring weight, support and grounding — before broadening our focus to the interaction between joints, trajectories of movement and spatial directions, allowing the choreography to emerge in the flow of the present moment.

We will then turn our attention to the relationship between the dancer and their own movement, examining how choreography takes shape through awareness, intention and presence. From this perspective, we will explore the intersection of choreography and observation, ultimately arriving at the dynamic relationship between performer and audience.
Creating and receiving movement, composing in real time, and leaving a unique choreographic imprint on the atmosphere of a space are among the themes that will guide our compositional practices.
