INTERCONNECTIVE TRAINING

The advantage of different dance skills connecting and supporting one another.

One of the goals of this concept is to assimilate, stimulate and facilitate the enhancement of these varies dance connections. The ultimate finale is to incorporate and coordinate the different ideas into a subsequent whole and redistribute their techniques so that the individual can portray personal creativity.

The Workshop is intended for people active in all areas which involve the body and movement, such as theatre, dance, martial arts, sports, bodywork, singing, education etc. The participants will encounter themselves and each other – with the aim not merely of learning „languages“ from each other – but of discovering a shared language of movement.

Images and concepts in the mind can generate a certain physical experience and initiate a flow of movement. However, the physical movement sensation is dependent on one’s own inner, intellectual concepts. The autonomous, organic flow of movement is influenced so strongly by the illusions of the imagination that, as often happens, a person is no longer able to perceive the physical, concrete sensation of movement without interference from his/her own thoughts, i.e. from these preconceived images.

The goal of this work is not only to negate or reserve the principle described above, but rather to enable each participant, through concrete movement exercises, to experience and understand his/her own physical structure with its personal, natural movements.

The key factor here is that each individual’s body and its movement is absolutely unique and personal. All human bodies are subject to the same basic principles (such as gravity, mechanics etc.) but due to difference of shape, size, strength, psyche, personal history etc. no two bodies possess the same set of circumstances. This workshop is about experiencing – and reflecting on – one’s own (moving) body.
