Through concrete theatrical exercises – based or a text or improvisation tasks - the student learns to express him/her self in an authentic embodied way. The main focus lies on the exploration and investigation of own theatrical embodied states and transformations, rather than on a fixed form of presentation. The embodied theatrical skills trained in this class will support the dance students in the development of their performative skills and own artistic voice.
