Fitness, idea, flow

This is an experimental workshop lead by graduates of KATAP Anna Stenzlová and Klára Lidinská in which we aim to find a way to natural movement flow through body material.

In the first block of the workshop we will focus on coordination and condition exercises through which we will explore the possibilities of the bodily material, and in the second part we will continue to become aware of and deepen this material with the tool of imagination. Finally, with the body material and movement experience gained, we will enter into a collective dance improvisation where we will explore the extent to which my movement quality is affected by working with imagination and corporeality/physicality.

Learning outcomes

The workshop is designed for all students who want to improve their physical fitness, body coordination, discover their own body as a material and gain experience of the movement flow. The learning outcomes are developed skills and acquired practical experience in movement work.
