Silvana Alfonso

Teaching description Benjamin brings an awareness of the subtleties in dance and movement practices through simple and playful hands-on exercises and games. We will work both with personal and partnering practices to explore different possibilities of body mind knowledge. The focus is about how awareness of what we do can help us release tension and resistance in the body. Related to dance, this can eventually lead us to feel more fluid and light in the body as we move. Benjamin is influenced by martial arts like Taiji Chuan and Aikido, as well as yoga and various dance practices.

Things we will do during the workshop. Moving up and down the floor with ease and release of tension. Circular movement patterns. Tai chi principles. Moving from the centre. Leading and following impulses Directing movement in and out of our centre. Giving and receiving weight to one another. Contact flying fundamentals. Open jam
