Description of the workshop:

Three classes of contemporary dance will be based on modern technique and partnering with clear body-shape and particular patterns. Mixing together release technique and Martha Graham’s technique the choreo will be filled with no-muscles movements and strong core. Combining together opposite conditions we will play between “holding” and “letting go” meanings.
