ABOUT THE SESSIONS
Karin invites dancers to join in the studio for anatomical explorations and dance phrases, continuing the research of her materials in an open studio setting.
The first part of a session will focus on anatomical explorations to tune and set in motion, using visualizations, hands-on exercises and improvisational scores. Karin will draw on and be inspired by her studies in Body Mind-Centering®.
The second part of a session will be dedicated to learning and engaging with dance phrases inspired by the score used by Trisha Brown for her dance performance “Locus” (1975). The dance phrases take place in an imaginary cube, with three levels and 25 spatial directions. With a continuous fall and in balance by extending body parts between different points in space, the dancers turn, curve and spiral around themselves.
