FRIDAY JULY 9TH, 11.30 AM

Character embodiment and Character Development

Who are you when you perform? Are you staying yourself or are you a totally different person? Experiment with creating connections or gaps between you and the character. On one hand, use your emotions and personal experiences to feed the character’s emotional arcs and shifts. On the other hand, use the character embodiment as a catharsis : discover emotions and experience situations that you would have not experienced otherwise. We will work with neutral masks.

SATURDAY JULY 10TH, 10 AM

Presence, Intention and Emotions From Inside Out

By accessing the self and the power of now, performers can truly touch their audience. The purpose of this class is for Anasma to share tools to grow as a striking performer, from inside out. Dancers will be invited to reflect upon the intention of their dance. Starting from meditative work and internal movements, dancers will learn how to connect their inner world to the outer world by working with strong visualizations, connecting to their emotions, clarifying intentions, playing with the gaze and facial expression, creating awareness of the breath, exploring the paradigm of giving and taking.

SUNDAY JULY 11TH, 4 PM

Gestural Movement and Storytelling

This class allows dancers of all levels and movers of any background to share any message beyond strict dance vocabulary and to have fun! While using their current dance technique, dancers will be invited to reflect upon the meaning of their dance and the choice and symbolism of their movement. Dancers will learn miming techniques, how to transform everyday life gestures into dance movements, develop specific characters and tell stories through their face and body, as a soloist and as a group.

MONDAY JULY 12TH 5.30 - 7:00

"Snakelike" Hip Hop Bellydance

Descriptions for the workshops can be found : here and schedule here . You can sign up here .
