Workshkop | Valentina de Piante (with Corina Tătărău, Eliza Trefaș and Vlad Benescu)
Workshop within Growasp 2016
Based on Feldenkrais Technique, the workshop addresses people with interest in contemporary dance
How do we get to dance more efficient? How do we gain more coordination and flexibility? And more harmonious moves?
The physical training and the dance techniques are not enough. They need basic anatomy and experiential physiology knowledge. The Feldenkrais technique reveals the scientific perspective that creates connections between different parts of the body and facilitates the construction of a complex body image. The method draws a map of the entire body of anyone who experiences it. The workshop starts from the Feldenkrais technique and continues with the study of movement and dance principle.
The workshop is part of GROWASP 2016 – Ground for Research and Orientation, an intensive program of education and cultural training in the field of contemporary performative arts, initiated by WASP Studios in partnership with 4Culture Association. The program includes workshops, special guests, public presentations, feedback sessions, opportunities for training abroad, artistic residencies and access to national and international productions.
