IMPROVISATION CLASS FOR ADVANCED

By Ana Leonor Ladas

For professionals and Dance students

The work focuses on the process itself. It creates a platform for personal exploration, practice, daring and learning through the kinesthetic body. It develops understanding of basic and essential principles within the triad body ∞ mind (individual), body-bodies (relation with others) and space/time/life (context) leading into Instant Creation. It activates imagination rooted on the physical body. It integrates basic principles of Eastern and Western approaches, intertwining the visible and invisible. It explores in different ways how to reconnect, recognize and activate individual’s original movement. It develops skills and abilities to deal, navigate and redirect the energetic and moving body.
