This class explores the interconnections between contemporary dance/ floorwork, improvisation, embodied practices, and partner work.
By beginning with a grounding warm-up, we establish a shared practice connecting to the floor, enhancing body awareness and stability.
As limits create freedom, this class aims to offer knowledge of contemporary dance training as a structure that calls to be broken and rearranged playfully through improvisation. We integrate movement qualities into floorwork phrases and gradually introduce dynamic partner work, fostering trust in a supportive environment.
Collaboratively, we aim to create and hold a safe space where we can all explore, play, surprise ourselves and grow together.

This project was supported within the framework of the scholarship program of the Free State of Bavaria Young Art and New Ways in 2022/23.
This enabled research and the development of “weaving connections” as a practice - weaving both into a pedagogical concept that has been frequently shared since the beginning of 2023, as well as into a form of artistic research which developed into the solo project “anicca”.
