• experience new collaborations,
• be in a safe space where your personal creativity can flourish,
then this workshop is for you!
Conscious Release Method workshop is a 7 days long process of gaining new movement and composition knowledge. It is orientated towards the final performance, giving the possibility for the dancers to experience the technique on stage and connect with other professionals in a format of instant composition. Participants will also explore connections between dance and live music, communicating with an acclaimed Slovenian musician Kristijan Krajnčan, who will join the process in the last three days. The group will share their week of creative co-existence with the audience on Sunday, July 10th at 20h in Dance Theatre Ljubljana – PTL.
This workshop is an immersion into the Conscious Release Method. The application of this technique optimizes the body perception by building awareness towards the current state and abilities of the dancer. The body becomes a boarderless tool for the imagination and its dance patterns. By using the contemplation of inner space and through the release of tension, an effective means to stop habitual patterns and formal movements in the dance arises. Full creativity can than be experienced and form appears only to serve a unique expression: the present moment.
