In this course we do improvisatory exercises and we let the movement well from the body on its own pace.
In this ”Indulge the Movement” -course led by Minna Kaaronen the participants are invited to be inspired by their own movement which is awakened by the different improvisatory exercises. The exercises give the movement its first spark. Then layers are added to the exercises one by one to prevent the critical mind to block the movement and the ideas that are on their way to surface.
Minna’s classes are characterized by playful and curious atmosphere in which it’s easy to indulge the movement. The music is used in the class to direct the energy. The movement sparks tenderly, roughly, sincerely, superficially, by accident, precisely, inspired by the music and in spite of the music. In dance, Minna appreciates the rest as well and the movement that can accumulate gradually from the rest.
The classes start slowly by immersing oneself in the sense. In some of the classes we do relaxation exercises. We do not do choreographed movement in the classes. You do not need previous experience of contemporary dance to attend the classes. All you need is a wandering, curious mind!
Indulge the Movement – Contemporary Dance for All courses are mainly instructed by the choreographers and performers of Zodiak's previous, current and upcoming season's performances. Indulge the Movement courses are suitable for everyone, and you can join even without any prior dance experience. The classes focus on motion and movement while also offering an opportunity to explore various dance practices through alternating instructors.
All you need are comfortable clothes suitable for movement and a water bottle. During the classes, we dance barefoot or with socks. The courses are held in Finnish and/or English according to the needs of the participants.
