DAY 2 I SOUND

silent green BODY’s second day delights with dance and voice.
 

10:30-12:30     GAGA  |  MÉLANIE SORIN

Gaga is a Movement Research founded by Ohad Naharin in Israel. It offers a new way of learning somatic body awareness and enables strengthening, flexibility, stamina, and agility while playfully engaging with the senses and imagination. To music, participants will be guided through a series of evocative instructions that build upon each other and rather than copied, are individually interpreted.

Mélanie received a BA in contemporary dance from ESD, Lisbon; post-graduate diploma at FMH, Lisbon and LCDS, London; and has worked closely with choreographers, such as the founder of Gaga, Ohad Naharin. She completed her Gaga Training in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 2012 and teaches classes and workshops in Berlin and other European cities.

13:30-15:30     YOUR OWN VOICE  |  CHRISTIANE HOMMELSHEIM

In this workshop we’ll examine the interconnections of voice, body and perception and move into new vocal territories, beyond our habits. In the Roy Hart method we explore the voice in all its colour and expression, independently of aesthetic norms and conventions. Through group, partner and solo work we will playfully experience and explore our own voices.

16:00-18:00     TUNE YOUR BODY  | DINO SPIRI

How does tension create connection and relationship? Our bodies have the innate ability to tense and release. In this workshop, we’ll play with physical tension and tone through exercises and principles from Contact Improvisation, Alexander and Klein Technique. Using solo and partner activities we will explore how different fields of tension influence our state of being and engagement with the world and ourselves.

About Dino Spiri
Dino Spiri studied jazz and pop drumming in the Netherlands and then moved to Berlin to undergo Alexander Technique training while teaching touch and movement classes since 2010. As a certified AT teacher since 2013, Dino draws inspiration from a variety of disciplines such as Klein Technique, BMC and Contact Improvisation. He also works in production management for the freelance dance and theatre scene, including with Sasha Waltz & Guests, Shakespeare Company Berlin, and Tanzkongress Hannover.
