Box Labor Tanz – Contemporary with Mathilde Gilhet in Südpol

©Mathilde Gilhet

Drawing inspiration from diverse movement practices such as martial arts, breakdance and animal flow, the class is based on Contemporary Dance technique built-up with a strong focus on floorwork. The warm up will prepare the mover physically and mentally before their practice and execution. Based on cardio combinations alongside movement flow and coordination, this warm up will provide a better
awareness of the whole body.  The second part of the class focuses on a series of body locomotion used as a tool to explore the mechanics and coordinations of our own anatomy. Studying organic movement, with different qualities and dynamics such as balancing, swinging, stabilizing, rolling, falling, and melting down will aim to find smooth transitions to and from the floor. The last part of the class will help to develop individuals approaches to moving and performing confidently with longer sequences. This class aims to be accessible to a wide variety of movement backgrounds, practices and levels. All sequences and exercises delivered, have a variety of alternate movements for different levels and individual abilities.
