PRAXIS Praksis is a 3 day long 'morning sharing' where we have invited several dance artists who will hold a space in which they share their ways into dancing; this can be through their daily routine, a choreographic practice, or other approaches into moving that have inspired them.

The classes are 1.5 or 2 hours long starting at 09:30.

Each class is 50kr.

The doors will open 9:15,

We ask you to come in good time, as the space is not easy for late-comers.

We meet at Hausmania's back gates (behind Vega Scene).

DESCRIPTION

“I generally like working with playfulness and different types of dancing, expressions and focuses, which will be clear during these days. I want to try out many different things :))

The time we have together will be divided in two parts: First, we will do a warm-up that is based on release technique, highly influenced by my own studies and training. We will work with different types of muscle tensions, alignment and awareness, be a bit nerdy, and get warm.

Later, we will move into more choreography, where I will teach a couple of movement phrases for us to play around with, using different filters and tools."
