A week to let the poetry of our bodies speak, to give it a stage and be its very first audience. Instant composition becomes our framework for thinking and dancing. That is to say, improvising, creating and composing a dance in a spontaneous, instinctive way. Completely intuitive, you might think? Yet there are skills within instant composition that we can train. That is what this week is all about, all this in a beautiful setting in the South of France!
It will be a week in which we guide each other into movement through physical contact. Movement in which we seek effortlessness and articulation.
How can you move softly and powerfully at the same time? How does this affect your dance and the dancers around you? How do you let yourself be inspired by the dance of others?
Together we will work on clear movement language, timing, use of space, touch and the power of the present moment.
Tchi-ann creates a safe context for personal exploration and group dynamics, where everyone finds new horizons and experiences personal growth.
The days are divided into a morning session and a late afternoon or evening session. We dance for about five to six hours a day. The afternoons are usually reserved for a refreshing dip in the river, a blissfully long and well-deserved siesta, an adventurous outing by bike or by foot...
