The “Image, Space, and Rhythm” workshop is an open, evening session combining dance, improvisation, and visual arts. The program is based on an original method developed during studies at the Oslo National Academy of Arts, in which drawing and somatic experience serve as a starting point for creating movement and building a conscious composition.
Participants explore how sensation transforms into form and how the body can create rhythms, lines, and qualities in space comparable to “color.” Exercises inspired by landscape, perspective, or portraiture develop the imagination and support the development of compositional tools. Work takes place solo, in duets, and in groups, with sources of inspiration including music, text, images, and drawings.
Classes begin with a mindful warm-up based on contemporary dance techniques and elements of yoga, then transition into improvisational exploration, and in the final part focus on creating short movement-performance forms and structures. The workshop supports the development of creativity, body awareness, and the ability to translate imagery into movement, opening new perspectives in the participants’ choreographic work.
*Note! The class on April 28 will exceptionally take place at the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, Laboratory – Krukowski Hall, 2 Jazdów Street!
Duration: 90 minutes
Workshops for ages 16+
