MÖTE MED KOREOGRAF

In this workshop Julia invites you to experience a process offering an environment for exploration in creativity, movement, specific, and audacity.

Dancers will learn and work within Julia’s movement vocabulary to create choreography that is collaboratively driven.

Class description - Julia teaches a contemporary class that utilities spinal articulations and release techniques, and to find an organic way of moving and at the same time challenge the dancers technique and to find maximum range of movement. It starts with a set technical warm up with elements of floor work, stretch and strength. The warmup flows thru for 45min and then we work on a choreography phrase for the rest of the class. A big focus is for the dancers to find their own interpretation and flow of the movement- to make it feel natural in your body.
The workshop is a collaboration between Dansalliansen and Danscentrum Syd.
