Corinne Lanselle
Modern Technique

Moving, Sounding and Acting discover your own holistic sense of art The classes are a synthesis of Janis Brenner’s many years of working with such artists as Meredith Monk, Murray Louis and Alwin Nikolais, and of developing her own unique way of aesthetics. They explore the process of integrating movement, voice and speaking by delving into the mind/body connection through structured improvisation. The classes are geared towards the individual participants, ranging from professional dancers to singers and actors who want to increase their range and means of expression, to take risks and discover their own holistic sense of art. Each class incorporates a physical warm-up as well as a vocal warm-up, with the group also learning songs to be sung together in “rounds”. This creates a great sense of community, from which we can move into movement, voice and text explorations together and individually. Modern Technique to open the centre of the body towards the extremities Corinne Lanselle accentuates contemporary dance technique, influenced by martial arts and Feldenkrais – that means by the support of the body in space, by the 8 as a base in movement, by the connection of pelvis and head, the connection of feet and hands to discover an articulated freedom and to open the centre towards the extremities. All this with the goal to strengthen the vitality of the movement. To the advanced she will offer a higher complexity of the combinations, harder technical challanges, and the emphasis on speed, dynamics and risks.
