"Heidi’s inspiration for Stream Flow came from very different angles. It is the starting point for all of her teaching and choreographic work, and is integrated into both Contemporary and Ballet classes for professional dance companies and dance institutions internationally. These include :

Gothenburg DansKompani, Carte Blanche, Skånes Danstheater, Dansalliansen, The Netherlands Dans Theater summer intensive, Johannes Wieland Dance Company and many more. 

Please check: www.heidivierthaler.com for a full list.

A unique and constantly evolving tool for dancers and non dancers alike, using visual imagery and tactile exercises to help release the body and heighten awareness on many levels. From simple ball imagery exploring inner and outer body, to delicate touch guidance, causing an array of dynamics, from extremely fragile to surprisingly powerful. Ideal for braking habitual movement

patterns. Her Stream-Flow method has been recognized as an effective somatic movement method that focuses on developing the individual. It has been featured in a recent publication for dance practices amongst dance institutions throughout Europe. 

Practicing Dance, A Somatic orientation:

Accessing the individual led me to Stream-Flow: Heidi Vierthaler

Heidi’s interest lies in discovering a deeper knowledge of the body’s possibilities for the benefit of others and to continue developing her own distinctive movement language. Stream-Flow is an effective and creative approach to bridging different dance forms. The focus of the classes will be on integrating heightened inner and outer awareness as the foundation of endless initiations and physical organisations. We will work on separating the body into small sections from joint to joint and space to space. We’ll also work on movement phrases that will allow for surprising initiations,

and a richer result with less effort and a rich pallet of dynamics."

Class description - Julia teaches a contemporary class that utilities spinal articulations and release techniques, and to find an organic way of moving and at the same time challenge the dancers technique and to find maximum range of movement. It starts with a set technical warm up with elements of floor work, stretch and strength. The warmup flows thru for 45min and then we work on a choreography phrase for the rest of the class. A big focus is for the dancers to find their own interpretation and flow of the movement- to make it feel natural in your body.

Workshop

In this workshop Julia invites you to experience a process offering an environment for exploration in creativity, movement, specific, and audacity. Dancers will learn and work within Julia’s movement vocabulary to create choreography that is collaboratively driven.

Anmäl dig till Dansalliansen senast 4 januari. HÄR! 

En veckas morgonträning där du kommer arbeta med att värma upp både kropp och röst genom olika övningar, med starkt fokus på rytmiskt arbete samt hur du kan koppla ljud och rörelse till din kroppen som instrument.

Träningen kommer vara grundande och med med groove för att hitta  sätt att få tillgång till en fysikalitet som är både avslappnad och rytmiskt tajt. Detta kommer att göras med hjälp av musik och olika somatiska verktyg.

Alma Söderberg koreograf och scenkonstnär som arbetar med musik och dans. Hon använder sin röst och kropp för att spela med rummet som om det vore ett instrument. Hennes pågående forskning handlar om hur vi lyssnar medan vi tittar; relationen mellan örat och ögat. Hon har grundat sin praktik i ett antal soloföreställningar där hon utvecklade ett idiorytmiskt sätt att skapa. I de två pågående musikprojekten wowawiwa och John the Houseband har hon samarbetat tillsammans med artisterna Anja Muller, Dennis Deter, Hendrik Willekens, Roger Sala Reyner och Melkorka Sigridur Magnusdottir.

MANÉ FERNANDES

Rhythm Workshop

15:30 - 17:30

200kr DC Members. Both workshops 350 kr

250kr Non Members

Class Description

What would happen if a student of movement 

had the internal rhythmic creation center 

that a jazz drummer has?

Let's experiment and investigate!

In this workshop, Mané Fernandes will share his love for music, more specifically rhythm, in an attempt to show a few systems for practice of a deeper, more intentional connection between movement and music. From basic, nuclear concepts of rhythm to more forward thinking ideas.

Bio

Mané Fernandes is a guitar player, composer and improviser based in Lisbon and Porto. He is part of a broad, musical experimental scene he likes to call Post-Beat Aesthetics. The meeting of the “Jazz” (#BAM) tradition as an ever-inspiring source of depth and truth, with the fresh sounds and methodologies of electronic and sample based music(s) is where he finds his space. [This is where parameters are stretched, rules are established and soon broken, creativity is worshiped and transcendence is toyed with. His sound is fresh in the European scene, drawing inspiration from deep spiritual improvisation, beat music and 90's Boom Bap.]

Listening bodies - Partnering

"Exploring and learning about the human body and how the different parts and systems collaborate can have an interesting effect on our presence, perception and the way we move. In the workshop listening bodies we will explore this through connection and touch with other bodies. Taking care of ourselves in order to take care of each other can be an interesting way to learn something about our own bodies and is an important perspective of working with a partner. The starting point each day is a topic related to the human body from a small simple detail to larger connections in the organism. The theme will be explored through free physical exploration, games, simple exercises and improvisation. We will gradually move into creating a communal language to communicate with a focus on listening and open up for pysical exchanges where we play with all levels of space, speed, flow and the forces that move us.

The workshop is an open space for your own exploration, physical reflection and an opportunity for giving and taking care of your own body and to each other."

BIO: 

Nina Wollny studied modern and contemporary dance at the Rotterdam Dance Academy, now Codarts, in the Netherlands. After her graduation in 2002 she joined the company anoukvandijk dc and has worked there as dancer, rehearsal director and artistic assistant for more than 10 years. Nina has been regularly performing and collaborating with German choreographer Jenny Beyer at Kampnagel in Hamburg, Germany. In Norway she works with amongst others Mia Habib Productions and BodyCartographyProject. She is based in Trondheim and is part of the Praxis Trondheim team, ImproDans Trondheim and has joined several  Trondheim based projects of Marie Rechsteiner. Nina started teaching when she was 15 as a way to deepen her own understanding of dance. In 2004 she became a Countertechnique teacher and has taught those classes and workshops all around the world until 2021. Now she is following her own interests in sharing movement. She is curious how our dance relates to the form and function of the body and the forces that move us through a process that is not looking for a solution or a universal answer, but rather exploring questions together and letting them resonate through movement in the individuals body.

Recently Nina has been drawn to start sharing her fascination of the human body in her own artistic and performative work, which has led to the piece Revisiting Solo. Revisiting Solo was most recently performed in the context of a “Women’s health in movement” event where art, science and experience come together so speak up about issues in women’s health.
