Kenji Takagi
Free Dance Technique

Free Dance Technique Beginners Get acquainted with principles of modern technique In this workshop Kenji Takagi follows Rudolf von Laban’s Credo of the development of a “free dance technique” that is in the first place not connected to a certain dance style, but has the task of delivering a focused practice in basic principles that are essential to human movement in general. The participants are invited to develop a spirit of experimenting and to experience their body-consciousness in relation to different aspects of time, space, energy and flow. The class starts with a warm up in the middle, followed by elementary to more complex exercises in space, possibly including short improvisational tasks. The goal is to feel the joy of movement and to gain an acquaintance with basic principles of contemporary dance technique.
