Dance Improvisation@DanceBase, Edinburgh
Monica De Ioanni Classes are open to all
These classes are open to all: beginners, dance students, performers, both experienced and not in Dance Improvisation.
Utilizing the principles of contact improvisation and body-mind practices, Monica's teaching focuses on areas such as; awareness of the body's organisation and anatomy; connection to the floor, the space and partner's; and sensing the weight and the flow of the breath into the body. Confidence in receiving and giving (lifting, falling, momentum, suspension, weight, impetus) is built through suggested movement patterns and observing the singular expression of the body in motion.
