Fluxness
by Antoni Androulakis
About the workshop:
The practice is a synthesis of the different ways I have approached both floor work & acrodance over the past 10 years.
It breaks down the question of “how to use gravity as a movement generator?”.
Using mainly improvisation, this question will be answered through the exploration of different concepts such as:
• Becoming conscious of the use of our weight through the points of contact we create with the floor.
• Exploring the idea of being both relaxed & active; using the needed tension in order to facilitate movement while getting rid of unnecessary rigidity.
• Using our body as a holistic organism. Seeing it as a whole rather than separated, we will find ways to make our full body contributes to the movement.
I will also share my background in acrobatics. Looking at different patterns & figures as movements rather than “tricks” to include them in one’s own dance.
I do not differentiate in between the way I deal with movement and how I deal with my daily life. My teaching is therefore a synthesis of my intuitive understanding of things I am actively practicing: awareness, challenge & playfulness. ”
