This 5-day Summer Intensive combines Skinner Releasing Technique with the compositional work of Instant Composition. The course is designed for dancers, performers, dance educators, and movement lovers of all levels of experience who wish to deepen and expand their dance and compositional skills.
We will start each day with a SRT class followed by compositional explorations where we will create solos, duets and dance pieces in smaller or larger groups. For this we will combine the respective Releasing principles with an awareness of space, time and other compositional aspects.
Cultivating qualities such as suppleness, effortlessness and a fluid attention allows us to listen more clearly to the ongoing interplay of our imagination and actions and enables us to participate fully in the material we create in the moment.
Dancing and composing with an open and available body and a playful mind we are able to enter new territories of unforeseen possibilities, fostering the performative potential of the intuitive, musical and poetic body in motion.
