Contemporary, Impro & Repertory by Giovanni Insaudo (Italy/Sicily)
DFM Workshops 26 July
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Giovanni leads a lesson that mixes physical work with mental challenge. Believing that being a good dancer requires a quick and creative mind, his exercises range from those that use the body in its entirety to those which concentrate thoughts, isolating only specific parts. He works intensively on changes in dynamics, in the quality shifts between muscular and skeletal articulations, in the whole conception of space and in the use of images and vital actions as physical inputs. In addition to guiding the group through leading exercises, Giovanni tests the creativity of his dancers in the form of construction and improvisation tasks. As a choreographer, he adds to all of this the influence of his own movement language even when his students are improvising and creating on their own.
