Arthur Stäldi: Improvisation - Dialogue and Spacial Awareness
We will work on these two basic aspects: We will learn principals and tools for our Improvisation practice and a released based approach to the body. We will pay attention to our interests and how to develop personal movement in the moment. As well, fine tuning our awareness in clear relationships/dialogues with each other, the space and the public.
