Inaki Aszpilaga / CONTEMPORARY DANCE TECHNIQUE

A+B, B+C

These dance technique classes are for dancers and actors with good physical sportive training background, who are interested in dance as an artistic form of expression. 

The classes are shaped with given movement sequences of floorwork and movement across the space with high doses of energy and dynamic changes. Without aiming to impose an aesthetic, the movements might also look pedestrian and quotidian. 

We will combine practice and reflection about the tools and outcomes experienced.
