African Dance

”I believe that dancing takes walking into flying" The fundamental training centres around listening to the body, its physical and mental reactions, in order to find the necessary concentration. Cleaning out the negative or unnecessary and liberating the body for spontaneity. Focussing on the ondulating spine and on the relation to the earth, everybody may develop their "physical" music. Everything the body recieves or integrates evoques an emotion. The body moving in time and space produces signs that are vested with meaning by emotions. This is a necessarily improvisational process incorporating music, voice and text. ”Within me there is the desert, the ocean and a lot of other things, because we are multi-layered."
