The Study Group is process oriented program that is centred around the athletic & somatic facets of dance, movement and embodiment. Cultivating body intelligence and physical expression and developing a self and group practice are the core of the program.
The program is a professional training that is open for any person regardless of age or background. A basic previous experience in the field of dance or embodiment is required.
The program aims to help each individual to develop their physical-emotional intelligence, a strong foundation that is necessary for any future engagements in field of dance/embodiment. By gradual exposure to experiential and theoretical knowledge, each participant will receive the tools to maintain a physical relationship with the body and to develop an independent dance practice.
The program constitutes four core modules and one optional module.
The mandatory modules are being taught 1.5 hours per week and lasts for 36 weeks. All the mandatory modules are built as a gradual process of accumulation of knowledge and skills.
The optional module takes place every week for 3 hours (throughout the entire program) and will be guided by rotating guest teachers. Each participant is require to attend for a minimum of 12 hours in total (4 times), with the possibly to attend as much as one wishes.
