Partnering Linda Kapetanea & Jozef Fruček
Partnering Class
Partnering is for us- The Art of Emptying and Listening. No techniques, no preoccupations of how and when should happen the move. It is a way to look for pure interaction as in the playful fight between two little animals. Move together wild but safe, without too much projecting what will happen in following moments. Partnering as a way to understand our own behavioral habits through interaction with our partner. Partner- as our clear mirror of ourselves.
We will concentrate on anatomical understanding of locomotory system, in term of being functionally open and ready to respond to any impulse to sense when we are close and unable to react appropriately to understand what does it mean- flow of energy without interruption.Cautiousness in any situation
Knowledge of overall dynamics
Knowledge of different levels of energy and temperament
Knowledge of our limits
Movement of partner´s eyes, body, hands and feet to create ability to read his/her body-mind intentions
Practical understanding of speed, sticking, joining, adhering and following
Giving the weight, push and pull, jumps and lifts, manipulations and so on.
