Slam! Amsterdam 2019

Slam! Slam! is a highly physical, movement oriented dance workshop. The focus lies on the development of basics, forming a foundation to the translation of foreign material. I aim to challenge you, the space and the group. We play with movement on irregular counts, spacial awareness, isolations, musicality and the distribution of power within all of these aspects. I push for clarity and dedication from my side to the group as I expect the same from the dancers. Every day we go through a warm up that focuses on all the parts of the body, all to prepare the body for absorbing impact and movement. In this section I use improvisation as well a set material. Throughout the workshop days we will go through exercises that for a base for the phrases. We will focus on acrobatics, floor work, standing work, isolations, musicality and sheer stamina. We will swipe through the floor, get up and own the space, sweat and trample on boundaries in this playground. And
