Teaching
Budapest Dance School – Intensive Audition-preparatory Course – Contemporary Dance
In general, there is a great emphasis put on floorwork. We start with a warm-up in which we not only prepare our body for the dance, but also strenghten the muscles. It is important to acquire a theoretical knowledge of the body as well, therefore we start from the inside, consciously using the bones, muscles, and joints. The aim is the soft and fluid way of using the body. We tend to reduce the amount of invested energy and to take advantage of our given body abilities. The class is constituted around the principle of gradual development. By starting on the ground, we learn movement sequences in standing, too. The idea is to research various movement qualities within the fixed choreography.

Budapest Dance School – Contemporary Dance Workshop Series – Stick-Dance
How can we become more abstract, to create a space installation and animate objects on stage? How is it possible to be in a perfect symbosis and to treat the object as our body parts? In the beginning of the classes, we often start with games for the sake of improving our reflexes and to familiarise ourselves with the objects. Afterwards, similarly to a contact improvisation class, the objective is to focus on the relation in between the two bodies: the physical human body and the object's one. Creating teamwork and reaching the level of trust. The Stick-Dance course based on the piece Insert.
