RE:SOURCE
After many years in the dance world, participating in competitions, being a member of dance companies, and teaching at festivals, my vision of dance has evolved. While technical proficiency is essential, what truly makes a dancer memorable is their individuality, charisma, and unique character. This is why I created RE:SOURCE. It’s a space for dancers to learn from others who share the same ideology, offering their techniques and ideas to enhance expressivity and find their own expressive language.
RE:SOURCE is an immersive dance intensive designed to invigorate and expand the creative boundaries of dancers by exploring expressive dance techniques distinct from their daily routines. Over the course of two days, participants will engage in 7 hours of training aimed at discovering new inspiration for performance presentations, enhancing expressivity, and broadening their dance vocabulary. The program features unique topics led by expert instructors. Gitza will guide dancers through “Body Poetry” and Music, Lines and Space,” where participants will explore the fluid interplay between movement and music, focusing on creating harmonious lines and utilizing space creatively. Meanwhile, Sèverinne will delve into the “Ad Infinitum” shimmies vocabulary for drum solos, offering dancers the opportunity to master intricate shimmies and enrich their rhythmic expression. Through this intensive, dancers will unlock new dimensions of their artistry, transforming their approach to movement and performance
These workshops are open to all dancers from an intermediate level and beyond, offering a perfect opportunity to deepen your skills and explore new creative horizons.
