Workshop themes:
14H15-15H45
Centering and going out of the axis!
(Tools for Blues, Contemporary, Fusion Dancers, and all people interested in movement research, already having a body activity (theatre, circus…)
Individual experimentation & in partnership (without the need of balance lead & follow) . Feel and work on the Axis first, then play to get out of it, without risk (for oneself, for the other). Raise awareness of your Center, build your verticality to learn how to get deliberately out of it, by using simple tools. The goal is to increase the freedom of movement in general, improve our mobility to add quality to our body and so, to our dance !
We'll connect to oneself, to the ground, to the other, and meet the concept of « double direction » allowing you to connect your extremities through your center, while controling how to manage your balance, your imbalances.Tools for solo & partner dance to play with weight and gravity in connection with musicality (slow down, vivid, stretching).

16H15- 17H45
Polyquality Workshop!
(Tools for Blues, jazz, modern', hip-hop dancers and all people interested in rythm and coordination)
Polycentrical and polyrythmical loops ! After discovering the main rythms in Blues, we will try to associate / dissociate. Funny workshop to increase the possibilities of our bodies, develop creativity, even with little vocabulary, using methodically our joints from head to toes, on spot and in all space. A game by groups will propose to try to analyse the rythmical loops of the others, while dancing our own's, just to have fun and give everyday tools and improve our dissociation & coordination ! We will also work on partnering (without the need of balance lead&follow)
