Yoga and Fusion Dance Week-end @ ZEOT
Zurich, Switzerland
Program
Friday evening
The idea of this session is that it sets the tone for an anatomical focus of the week-end. After a moment allying lecture around anatomic information, we experiment how to feel, integrate, digest and apply this information into our Contemporary dance fusion basics. We will drill some technical combos and also give ourselves a space to explore freely.
As ZEOT is a Bellydance, MENAHT School, we focus on the PELVIS.
Saturday morning
Yoga Dance Air ® LISTEN INSIDE- Earth & SOUL principles with intention setting, breathwork, perineum, center, posture, alignments, efficient conditioning for dance lovers who want to take care of themselves on the long run. This is the foundation for all healthy movement. => EARTH
Saturday afternoon
Yoga Dance Air ® FLUIDIFY with the WAVING Theory : we focus on creating fluidity in the body. We will be Waving from head to toe, connecting our moves with fluidity and breath. Threading our inner sensations together, we will let the energy and emotions shift into the outer world and space. We will also talk about weight shift and floorwork. => WATER
Sunday morning
Yoga Dance Air ® DIVERSIFY through ACCENTS : in this workshop we would define dynamics, rythms of movement, quality changes. Technical content would include such elements such as muscular contractions and release - popping - with an awareness for anatomy, jumps, falls, turns, looseness and speed. Control and let go. => FIRE
Sunday afternoon
Yoga Dance Air ® EXPAND your Space - we could work with finding our axis, balance, imbalance, extensions, kinesphere, spacial awareness, connecting to the space outside and inside, formations, creating a huge mandala, partnering, acro yoga. => AIR
WHY TEACH A YOGA DANCE FUSION WEEK-END OF WORKSHOPS IN ZURICH?
To me, art is meant to enable us to express ourselves freely. Freedom comes from a fine balance between knowing the rules (of science, anatomy, physiology, mechanics, aesthetics, traditions, and historical facts...)... and breaking away from rules (through poetry, imagination, daring to create a new individual language)... Our bodies are a vessel of communication. Our bodies enable us to make an experience of life and of the outer world. Our bodies also allow us to go inside of ourselves and know ourselves better, connect to the divine. I love basing my movement exploration, (dance, yoga and more etc) in the knowledge of anatomy and physiology. By educating dancers and yogis, I wish to bring them more body awareness, more self mastery to avoid injuries and develop long term pratice, more release and self confidence allowing their spontaneous embodied freedom.
For this "Anasma Coming back" series in ZEOT, I would love to propose to wear certain lenses over three week-ends. We will focus on a different body part each time, with the idea of building a better global sensation.
