Obstacles!?
What is Bodyparkour?
It is a created word of body and
Parkour, reflecting on the parallel approach of dance (contemporary) and movement art (parkour).
BodyParkour is a new art and
dance related form of movements. Based on the"Global Dancing" method, linking different dance-movement information and researching the connection between them, with a special focus on spiral movements. Influenced and inspired by the current trend sports Tricking,
Parkour & Freerunning, Bodyparkour is integrating information from
Open-Choreography, Contact Improvisation and Partnering, Breakdance, HipHop, Capoeira, using any obstacles and architecture for dancing-moving in-door and out-door.
The Workshop
During the workshop we will make specific movements to prepare ourselves for the deeply physical movements, creating dance combinations, small body-stunt moves and easy acrobatic dance movements. We will use a specific cube assembled out of scaffolding for our movements. The movement quality has a touch of reference to our great comic action hero Jacky Chan.
All kind of advanced dancers, sport, Parkour, Tricking and Capoira lovers are welcome, who are looking for a movement form which can integrate all this information to reach an eye catching and exciting, but never the less challenging, trendy dance style!
Please prepare your self with good comfortable sport shoes, knee pads or elbow pads for your protection!
