April, 1, 2, 3 & 4, 2010

In these workshops we will use practices and concepts drawn from the The Feldenkrais Method© as a resource for solo and contact improvisations. We will explore how 'Awareness through Movement' lessons, taught through verbal instruction, and hands-on partner work based on 'Functional Integration' practices can inform our compositional choices, and serve as embodied scores for emerging improvisations.

Barnaby O'Rorke Treeglove Horn, performer and musician (cello, piano, vocals) will provide music for the classes and jams.  He is an experienced improvisor working with dance for many years.  www.barnabytree.com.

Thomas Kampe,
Trained as a visual artist and in dance at the Laban Centre and at Middlesex University in London. He has worked internationally in theatre for more than twenty-five years, as choreographer, director, designer and performer.  Thomas' research interests are in the developing of a contemporary, anatomically informed perspective on dance technique training, as well as in applying choreographic knowledge and methodologies to a wider theatrical context. He is a practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method©, which forms a foundation for most of his practical teaching.

Mirva Mäkinen
Dancer, teacher and choreographer, graduated (MA) from the Dance Department of the Theatre Academy of Finland in 2000. Teacher and lecturer for dance at the Kallio highschool of Performing Arts. Member of the dance company Karttunen Kollektiv and Circo Aereo.  She investigates movement, rhythm and different ways of inhabiting the body. A feeling of dancing is created by being able to switch the body from total relaxation to extreme intensity and “tension”. Her ideal is curiosity and presence, which makes every moment true and meaningful.
