Alessandra Corti
28.4 & 30.4 - Contemporary class

The class is based on contemporary technique focusing on floor-work as a tool to improve body awareness, sensitivity, and body condition. During the training, participants will experience an approach to floor-work directed to gain softness and power. Shorter and longer phrases will explore coordination and weight shifting as an implement to move in space.
Simple partnering exercises will be used to improve trust and communication.

The training aims to activate and strengthen the concept of the Available Body, a body ready to approach different kinds of work without losing its center and identity.

Isidora Markovic
12.5 & 14.5 - Improvisation class
What to expect:
This class is an invitation into an ongoing research of the body as a meeting point of memory and possibility. Through guided improvisation we will listen to our intuition, loosen the known and wander into the poetic unknown. The idea is to unlock our imagination and explore different layers that make us dance, following fantasies and inner geographies. I aim to invite multiple forms of expression and focus on space, music, dynamics and gestures as our guides. We will play, sweat and dance together.
