CLASS DESCRIPTION

Throughout his dance career, Luca has been fully engaged in movement research with Heidi Vierthaler and the evolution of the Stream Flow Method, which is indeed, the main inspiration for my dance classes and workshops.

What is the Streamflow Method? A unique and constantly evolving tool for dancers and non-dancers alike, using visual imagery and tactile exercises to help release the body and heighten awareness on many levels. From simple ball imagery exploring inner and outer body, to delicate touch guidance, causing an array of dynamics, from extremely fragile to surprisingly powerful. Ideal for breaking habitual movement patterns and heightened inner and outer awareness as the foundation of endless initiations and physical organisations.

The workshop will deal with working on separating the body into small sections from joint to joint and space to space. As well, a work on movement phrases that will allow for surprising initiations, and a richer result with less effort and a rich pallet of dynamics. The aim is to encourage the dancers to be great thinkers, while sensitive to their body. The key is being open, responsive and playful.

StreamFlow Method is taught in major dance companies such as Gothenburg DansKompani, Carte Blanche, Skånes Danstheater, The Nederlands Dans Theater, TanzTheater Wuppertal,  Heidelberg Theater and many others.
