Event Description

Through various improvisational exercises and choreographic processes Contemporary Expressions in Movement seeks to introduce and make movement vocabularies accessible to participants. The workshop will employ movement phrases developed by Attakkalari’s contemporary movement practice, which is informed by contemporary dance, and draws its grammar and structure from embodied movement and somatic practices such as Yoga, Kalarippayattu, Bharatnatyam.

During this 3-hour workshop, participants will be gently acquainted with and encouraged to keenly observe a set of movement phrases. They will be guided to find ways to embody these movement phrases.

The workshop will briefly cover:

Movement exploration: Participants will engage in a series of movement exercises and improvisational activities designed to help them connect with and observe their bodies, exploring different ways of moving.

Choreographic process: Participants will have the opportunity to work collaboratively to create short dance/movement pieces, using the techniques and principles they have learned during the workshop.

Performance: The workshop will culminate in a sharing session where participants will have the opportunity to perform their choreographic creations for each other.

This workshop is open to anyone with an interest in movement and dance, regardless of their previous experience.
