PRACTICE DEVELOPMENT FOR MOVEMENT-BASED ARTISTS

Since 2015 I have gathered movement-based artists around knowledge sharing and artistic exchange. The course is inspired by programs at Caroline Salem’s Space Clarence Mews (UK) and derives from an urge to hold spaces for deepening relations and creative processes.

In these practical sessions, you will engage with each other’s artistic processes, and also have focus time to explore your individual practice. As a participant you will be experimenting, researching, giving and receiving feedback in a supportive environment facilitated by Julie Schmidt Andreasen. Each session, of 2 hours, you are invited to suggest 10-30 minutes of practice, or just participate. There will be min. 2-3 practices pr day, to feed your curiosity and be in-process together. You choose your focus based on your current practice, body mind state, and what is meaningful to you, at this moment.

This is a space for growing your choreographic concepts, movement ideas and dance material of any kind, with group participation and immediate response. As a facilitator I encourage an attentive and respectful attitude, structure the sessions each day, and lead a shared warm up and cool down. Moving is always part of a session, and you might not do your own practice every time.
