SIMONA BERTOZZI (IT)
Simona trained acrobatics, gymnastics as well as ballet. In 1998 she graduated in Dance History at the University of Bologna, where she teaches the basics of new dance since 1999. She teaches tecnique of floor work, release and contact improvisation, Yoga and the basics of classical ballet combined through own research studies. Her work is based on the choreographic experimentation through the techniques and the concept of new dance and physical theater. Simona Bertozzi worked since 1998 in the collective Laudati Danza (1998-2004) in Bologna and she continued in the collective Virgilio Sieni in Florence since 2005. At 2008 she performed at DanceWeek in Zagreb with her solo piece Endroit2e for which she received an award at the competition of young choreographers Gd'a and as well, this year won first award at Festival of dancevideo Coreografo Elettronico, Napoli with dancevideo Terrestre_movement in still life.
About workshop: 29.09. - 1.10. 12:00 - 16:00

_worming up on the dance floor, breathing techniques, gravitational force, guided improvisational sequencea and choreographed dance sequences.

_experimentations with relations body - articular , gravital and dinamic perception, personal creations.

_exploration of physical and emotional unity in the relation with the space that can be defined with laws of physics (three dimensional space, gravitational force, weight ...) or can be indefinite and endless (the relationship with time, the game with imagines and emotional memory, reminding...)
_comunication throught the body transfiguration.
Workshop is supported by Italian Cultural Institute Zagreb

 

 

BARIS MIHCI (TR / DE)
Baris graduated with BA degrees in social pedagogy, German language, Sports and as a teacher in special education for physically disabled children at the University of Cologne, Germany. Although always fascinated with movement, Baris did not start dancing until after finishing his degree. After completing his graduation thesis on Pina Bausch's Dancetheater he was introduced to the Axis Syllabus - universal motor principles™ since 2000 immediately immersed himself in study and acquired a teacher's certificate to teach the Axis Syllabus after four years of intense study under Frey Faust. Baris is a member of the dance collective led by Frey Faust and has been teaching daily AS-ump™ classes for dancers in Brussels and around Europe for almost three years. After introducing the AS in Istanbul in 2007, Baris is now based in Brussels and teaches regular classes for professionals in and gives workshops in Europe. This is a second time that he teach in Split.
WORKSHOP: AXIS SYLLABUS - universal motor principles™ 2.10 - 6.10. 12:00-14:00

The Axis Syllabus focus lies in the human body in motion. Movement possibilites of the body under the anatomical and bio mechanical filter with its impact onto the human body are subjects of the study in the AS. Three activity fields are from basic consideration for exercices and movement material.

Walking - crawling - rolling.

These three activity-fields are being carefully examined and defined in the light of efficient and safe human locomotion principles. Harnessing and conserving momentum through a fall plays an important role in order to create movement. The respect and knowledge of the human design brings attention to the natural parameters which are build into our bones, joints, muscles and ligaments.
These parameters or principles are: non-linear movements, undulatory or sequential movement, coordinated breath mechanics, establishing credible, functional support, using protected areas of the body to land or leap from, staying within suggested joint motion ranges.

Class description

The spinning body
Turning and spinning are fundamental movement patterns which can be observed in the nature and its dynamic motion. Our body can take advantage of these patterns while moving through space. Turning while falling releases centrifugal force and reliefs the joints from high pressure. The fall makes kinetic energy available to channel into the turn and construct balanced management of the muscles in active and passive roles. The sequential locomotion offers release and allows for undulations which feeds the body with new kinetic energy and provide fluidity in movement.

The endless possibilities of adaptations for the individual body, the functionality in the construction of movements and the fluidity which evolves through this gave me a joy and a pleasure I had never experienced before. I have always been curious to understand what the mechanism is in a movement, to know the trick that would make that movement easy. The AS approach to teaching through describing and explaining the mechanical reasons for a certain choice of motif or transition satisfied my curiosity. The purely technical, non-esthetic approach of the AS opened a huge platform for exploration for me. Studying the Axis Syllabus, I was able to strengthen and release my body while respecting it’sunique skeletal architecture. I think that studying the AS allowed me to increase my awareness of the opportunities my body gives me as I move through space. This awareness presents me with the chance to make choices to my advantage, with the gift of achieving grace and power as I dance. The consistent efforts of the AS community to: integrate information from alternative and conventional medicine as well as the results of recent biomechanics experiments in the classroom, to research and apply physics and anatomical parameters to movement, to tailor this information to the individual students need, these things convinced me to dedicate myself to intensify study...

ANNE CECILE CHANE -TUNE (BE)
Anne-Cécile Chane-Tune started to dance ballet in Reunion Island at the age of 6. With 17 she attended the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon (CNSMD) where she studied in the contemporary dance section. After 3 years she graduated with a dance diplom and went to Brussels where she followed a formation for professional dancers during 9 months under Alix Riga called Passerelles.
Thereupon Anne-Cécile got an engagement with the Ultima Vez company for a replacement to perform Blush, got involved in different companies and projetcts as with Animae Corpus company with Thibaud Le Maguer for the creation Pellis, the performance project Samsara and up to the present with Mattéo Moles the creation Gadget.
Currently she is part of the company Parcours under the direction of Félicette Chazerand with whom she created A l'ombre des arbres.
In France she is dancing for the Arcosm Company with the piece Lisa, a collaborative project of Thomas Guerry and Camille Rocailleux exploring the relation between rythm, musicality and dance.
Throughout these experiences with various people she found important relationships and inspiration for her own artistic direction. Anne-Cécile enjoys to work with different artists in collaborative forms and wants to embody her own ideas for love in a constant research and study of movement and art.

WORKSHOP: Watering emotion with movement 2.10. - 6.10. 14:00-16:00

The objectiv of this workshop is to explore various ways of finding a quality in movement like fluidity and flux. These will serve as elements to produce movement material and in the same time create a bridge to link different tools of a creative process with your feelings and emotions in an instant moment. The focus will be on a constant and conscious exploration of process without having any pressure for a result.
I like to use emotions as a consequence of motion in order to create a space inside and outside of us, find our interpretation through sensations and give notion to the space around you, your partners and the public.
The developement and sharpening of awareness of your own body and mind with its interelated physical, emotional and social states can provide a base for interactions between you and your environment.
