Improvisation Practices in Contemporary Dance

The course is dedicated to Improvisation dance practices as research for cultivating embodied knowledge towards more authentic bodily awareness and for creating unique, visceral, and intentional gestures and scores in contemporary dance practices, research, and performance. 

This dynamic course consists of different cycles with different dance artists who practice various forms of contemporary improvisational dance. Each improvisation cycle will experiment with the relationship between the body and space, the interaction with other dancers’ bodies, and the stimuli coming from both internal and external factors: sound, music, scores, space, and the city.

SRISA studio courses will have personal and course materials to be purchased in Florence. Unless otherwise specified there is no need to bring consumable supplies with you. On the first day of class your professor will inform you of materials needed and where to get them in Florence.
