DANCE WITH AND WITHOUT HANDICAP + DANCE for seniors
This course focuses on people with mental disabilities, which can work independently and are interested in working together with other people. Hana Zanin has specialised herself since many years on the work with people with down syndrom and other mental disabilities. This course focuses on people, who enjoy to move, to work in a group und who want to discover their ability of physical expression. In the first part of the workshop we warm up using different elements of modern dance and different techniques , for ex. The Release and Limón Technik or Yoga. Thereby the body becomes more flexible and sensible. We create new ideas of how to use our own body. The second part of the workshop is based on improvisation. We will experiment with energy, movement dynamics and spirit. We will arrange a short Choreography and will present it to the audience. This kind of dancing will enable us to cross our own borders. Suitables clothes are necessary! (sportswear, track pants, etc.)
