Van Huynh Company invites Adrian Look to deliver a week-long Dance Intensive. Adrian will cover all three elements that shape the art form of Tanztheater:
Technique
Learn the technique developed by Kurt Jooss and Sigurd Leeder, which laid the foundation for the technical approach of Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal.
Improvisation
Dive into the improvisation technique of questioning and answering to create meaningful and expressive material.
Choreography
We will devise a short choreography culminating in a sharing on the last day of the workshop.
Together we will spiral in and out of the earth, pass through expansion and cohesion, run, slide, learn how to challenge gravity, how to fall and how to rise. We will work with efficient pathways to move with speed, methods of how to activate the body to the fullest, while commanding our body with our voice. Unlimited possibilities in curve will enable us to pass through the space and transform the environment of dance. We will instantly compose together working with solo and group scores. We will be soft, wild, spicy and powerfully spontaneous. The workshop will be a combination of principles from Flying Low & Passing Through originally created by David Zambrano and Leila’s further development, which support her current choreographic practice.

Van Huynh Company invites Chisato Ohno to deliver a two day Dance Intensive at Centre 151.
The workshop is based on a research designed to access an expanding range of physicality through the imagery of sensation. Starting with a Gaga class each day, dancers will move on to tasks encouraging instinctive movement, emphasising quality and texture. The very physical approach will be used to warm up the mind and body, putting priority into connecting to each individual’s unique movement style, encouraging the participants to break out from regular habits and inspiring the body into new movement.
Van Huynh Company invites Los Little Guys to deliver a week Dance Intensive at Centre 151. Los Little Guys is a physical dance theatre collaboration created by Erik Elizondo and Dimitri Kalaitzidis in late 2017. Connecting Sources workshop offers practical movement research tools for performing artists of various movement backgrounds. The workshop will focus on components of physical research through the study of improvisation, floor techniques and structured material in order to discover the complexities and range of our movement potential.

Eva Recacha will lead a class for small children and their accompanying adult/s to have fun together, exploring rhythm, shapes and different movement activities and patterns, adapted to the different ages of the children. We will engage in some partnering work, swinging, rocking, carrying and developing bonding with our child through contact. Each child will need an accompanying adult to play and dance with. The class is for both child and adult to do together.
