MIMESIS 10.00h - 17.00h

Mimesis commits to dance & speech. The course encourages the dancer to allow the body to be penetrable so speech and dance can lock into each other. Tongue interacts with skeleton and muscle and fuses into space, scale, matter and audience. Speed, texture, depth, power, sensuality, opening and strengthening, spatial intuition and dynamics are examples of elements that can come into focus. When dance allows the imaginative and affective powers of speech, then the aesthetic value of language can be witnessed and experienced through the body moving. Here dance is given a rare dimension and depth and gets newly defined in space and time.
