Contemporary Dance
for Children

With Maria Radich

from 6 to 9 y.o.

Mondays | 18h30-19h30

These classes provide body awareness, starting from your internal movements, expanding your physical and creative capacities.

We will explore the potential of the body in movement, through different dance techniques and their relationship with space, through improvisation exercises that stimulate spontaneity and creativity in each one.

Starting from an individual research, passing to the group, we develop observation capacities of our own and another body.

After acquiring this knowledge, we will build sentences combining feeling with movement and we will enter a process of research and choreographic creation, in which the body responds in a complete and effective way to the proposed stimuli.

Using games and improvisations performed with different support materials (music, musical instruments, images, stories, everyday objects), students acquire the following notions:

• The parts of the body, its possibilities of movement and its limits;
• The recognition and use of different stimuli;
• The individual space, the collective space and the interaction between the two;
• The individual rhythm and its relationship with the surrounding rhythm.
