Dance workshop based on the eponymous piece by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
With Femke Gyselinck, rehearsal director of Rosas

No seats available - Registration is closed

Tuesday, July 2nd
Workshop hours 11:00-13:00

The workshop will start with a warm-up that is based on an improvisation task that Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker uses in her work. This task (‘My walking is my dancing’) is a way to warm-up the body starting from the most simple movement of walking and building up to a more complex way of dancing. The second part of the workshop will focus on generating movement material that follows the specific principles that were used in the creation of the Mitten wir im Leben sind/Bach6Cellosuiten. The last part of the workshop will focus on Bach's music and will generate a link between this music and the personal material made earlier during the class.
