Company Blu

CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUE

One or two Saturdays a month from October 2020 to May 2021 hr. 10:00 - 11:30
Conducted by Alessandro Certini
begins 3, October

The lessons aim to analyse movement in relation to the natural potential and characteristics of the body. Both the exercises in the center (curves, extensions, twists, spirals), and the choreographic phrases, are focused on integrating the mobility of the torso and limbs with the center of gravity, in a balance between strength and muscle relaxation. Lessons include floor work and a few choreographic sequences.

Alessandro Certini, co-founder with C. Zerbey of Company Blu has participated in the development of dance improvisation in Europe since 1979. Numerous are his national and international collaborations in the field of contemporary dance and improvisation performances. He has been a guest teacher with his performance projects at SNDO (NL), Bewegungs Art Freiburg (D), Accademia di danza Roma (I) and in many European and Italian schools and training centers.

CALENDAR: I° Cycle: 3, 24 October; 7, 21 November, 12 December 2019 (5 lessons)

VOICE and MOVEMENT RESONANCE

One or two Saturdays a month from January to May 2021 hr. 11:30 - 13:00
For dancers, actors and anyone with dance movement experience.
held by Charlotte Zerbey

The lessons amplify the perception and intuition that links the study of movement and voice to a more personal and artistic creativity and communicativeness. Work is on the convergences between the expression of movement and voice, beginning with the breath and vocal emission. Voice and gesture are explored in relation to the perception one has of the surrounding environment, as this tends to facilitate a willingness and sensitivity to observe resonant spaces. In particular, the work focuses on "natural" vocal expression, without effort and without pretence, bringing us into contact with our own critical vision and our own habits and prejudices. Exploratory modes and techniques of listening to movement will be used to perceive organically, improving awareness in each action, in each creative choice bringing one more in touch with their own stage presence.

MOVEMENT AWARENESS AND DANCE IMPROVISATION

Every Tuesday hr. 19:15 – 20:30
Conducted by Alessandro Certini

The classes propose an exploratory route to physicality in dance aimed at defining a language of relationships: with one’s own body, with another’s movement, and within a predefined context. Through each explorative step, from listening to the weight to the consequentiality of joint mobility, from equilibrium to orientation, from stability to physical action, from time to space, from thought to the flow of phrasing, particular attention is given to creativity of improvisation.
