Inspiring evenings that start with a focus - and playfulness - on movement research and end in dance.

In movement, we experience our anatomy. How does our body organise itself? What is the logic behind it? How can we apply this to our dancing? We'll experience this throughout our practice.

Among other things, we play with muscle tone and the balance between strength and release. We experience our arsenal of movement qualities, experiment with time and space and explore how these also influence our dancing body.

Each session starts from a physical focus, zooms in on a movement principle or body part and works towards play, improvisation and creation. Always with the aim of getting to know our musculoskeletal system more deeply and expanding our possibilities for expression and movement.

Işıl is particularly inspired by anatomy, kinesiology, Alexander Technique, Bartenieff Technique and Laboratory Technique. Every person has a unique way of moving; that is the starting point and the journey of discovery for every session.

Practical

This course is taught in English. Wear clothes in which you can move easily. We dance barefoot. Bring a bottle of water for in between dances.

Level of experience

Level X: this course is inspiring and open to dancers and movers of all levels, regardless of prior knowledge or dance experience!
