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.

At KADI Studio

Doorbell 204 (Kadi Fever Dance).

2. Floor.

DESCRIPTION

This Praxis sharing is called “building up ECSTASY”. It’s connected to the performance project ECSTASY that has been shown at OJDF, SØaR, DiG and IN2IT International Dance Festival in 2021. In this sharing we will focus on repetition, transformation and endurance as materials to work with. We use repetition as a mantra to calm the mind and generate energy. The goal of this praxis is to share my artistic methods and approaches in building ECSTASY, both as a physical state and performance.
