FESTIVAL SESSIONS GUIDE
I am interested in the new and unexpected movements that can arise when two or three bodies improvise together. I am interested in exploring the space between language and movement, finding the interplay of elements to create channels of action in space. This workshop will include the use of text and spoken language as a stimulus for creating moving material.
This workshop explores the development of new ideas and movement materials for a future project based on the theme of passion and restraint. This practical workshop explores the ways in which gender images and identities are created through the presence and action of the body, and through the production systems that exist in current dance practice. By undertaking a process of reflection and experimentation, participants will have the opportunity to analyze their own methods and results, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of the ways in which gender and gender issues influence their work.
This workshop will move beyond the creation of material to the dynamics of group interaction. Explore community in the group and the idiosyncrasy of the individual through improvisation, observation, discussion and presentation. Emphasis will be placed on the dancer as a person, the material, the tool, the art, the artist.
Assessment plays an important role in the teaching and learning processes at all levels of interaction in the dance classroom.

Various duet and trio forms will be explored and explored with a view to enabling participants to access their personal movement creativity. The common point of departure for both areas of inquiry will be 'journeys', literally or metaphorically. The workshop will focus on strategies for complying with rehabilitation programs, staying motivated while not dancing and dealing with emotional responses to injury.
The workshop will discuss how self-esteem can be managed so that self-confidence is improved and actions or thoughts that reduce confidence are removed (eg negative thoughts). This has made it possible to chart the physical and emotional pathways of students undertaking intensive training in the area of performance. The aim was to help reduce the impact of the event and to provide students with support structures to deal with the events proactively before, during and after its occurrence as well as to reduce the number of peaks and troughs in student performance with the students. performs better over a longer period of time.
In the past, when I have shown my work to students, they are absorbed and stimulated by the challenge it presents. When given the opportunity to learn about the sequences or roles and break down the movement, they generally found it to be an exciting and fun experience. In addition to introducing new work, each session will involve repeating some work so that students can follow and work on the appropriate style and dynamic of the work.
This class is designed to warm, stretch and strengthen the body through dynamic yoga postures based on the Iyengar method.
