Sep 30 – Oct 13. Morning classes with Rebecka Berchtold
Running teaches me to get going and follow momentum. Dancing trains my physical and sensuous participation. I experience my pulse raising, warmth spreading inside my body, my body perception transforming and perceived borders that start moving. My body is contour, volume, weight, bounce, directions, cavities…
During the morning classes we will run in circles. We will get going and transition from running to dancing. The classes will consist of improvisation/open form but we will also train sensitivity to bodily sensations within the framework of a set/predetermined dance. We will consider a pre-decided dance as an area to move in relation to rather than an original to replicate perfectly.
September 30 september – October 13
Monday – Friday at 10am-11:30am
Weld, Norrtullsgatan 7
