A brief explanation of the workshop - Musicality And Voice for Dancers:
Discovering and exploring the internal rhythm of ones body through breathe,
vocalising and movement.
Experiencing music from within the body is the quintessential driving force behind movement. A dancer should become 'as one' with their natural elements and influences as too often music remains in the head leaving a dancer moving merely parallel to the rhythm or melody. His workshop explores ways to tap one's internal rhythm and its kinetic integration.
Elements of the workshop include: What is musicality for Dancers: Breath and deep breathing awareness: Pulse and synchronicity of breath to movement: Voice and vocalization and vibrations in the body: rhythm and a set of exercises that combine movement phrases and sound in various time signatures.
