Workshops at the art schools
The collaboration
between HA and art schools,
where the dance department is
running ( Krimulda art and music
school, Indra art and music
school ) started in 2008 at
international dance day, when
teachers from HA gave classes at
Krimulda and Indra art and music
schools. This season HA is
organizing intensive workshops
in release, dance improvisation
and composition for the students
of these schools. The workshops
will be run in October, January,
April, two days each time. The
teachers will be from Olga
Zitluhina dance company and
Dance Anatomy.
The workshop includes:
Dance technique. The class is
about to give the idea about the
body alignment, relationship
with the floor and principles
what the teacher uses in his
work.
Dance improvisation. The goal is
to invite dancer to look for the
connection between creative
thinking and movement, avoiding
unnecessary self-criticism and
judgment. During the class
students are introduced to ways
of wakening sensory, work with
self, another person or group.
the group plays improvisation
structures, where the process is
the priority.
Composition. The goal is to
create a dance piece in a short
time, involving the students in
creative process. In two days
the dance product is created,
which is presented at the end of
the second day. It can be solo
or duet or group dance. May be
the process is continuing at the
next workshops.
