Improwizacja taneczna i teatr fizyczny: Jesteś mistrzem swojego ruchu

The workshops of Theater Institute will deal with both the improvement of physicality of the dancer/actor and pure creation based on feeling (body, space) and the search for individual movement expression. The performer-creator does not learn, but discovers the creative resources already available in him/her through the practice of improvisation. This happens by healing the feedback between the psyche and the body, i.e., activating the flow between the stimulus for movement and the movement itself. It will be a search for natural, organic and sincere movement, taking care of its form and expressiveness. Each workshop will begin with a simple warm-up, an introduction to and exploration of the class topic, and end with a quiet time. During the workshop participants will write, draw, and talk. So be sure to bring paper, a pen, and crayons of any kind.

The program will include physical theater, dance improvisation, movement composition, "authentic movement", body symbolism, contrasts, mental images in movement, interdisciplinary activities, as well as motor activities: body awareness, body connections, working with the center and limb articulation, movement qualities (weight, tension, level), form-shape and transfer (flow), senses.
