Course content

Improvisation is experienced as a source of inspiration, as a route to discover one's own movement potential, as a means of generating material and increasing sensitivity, awareness and self-reflection and as a compositional practice in itself. Different inputs from several teachers and sources will be experienced and may include a wide spectrum of stimuli as sources of inspiration. Students engage with specific practices of dance artists and explore their personal resonance with each input.
