PICTURE a dance-program where technique is an investigation in anatomy, proprioception, imagination, motivation, availability, and efficiency; a palimpsest of internationally acclaimed methods that are continually updated and refined by their teachers’ associations. Picture a dance-program that embraces agency, supporting mid-career & less experienced dance-artists to bloom in their own pace along each-other. Imagine a year in central Athens, five minutes from the Lycabettus forest hill, on our lovely solid, unfinished, oak-wood floor.
Picture GUTS | EYES | BONES | BOUNDARIES, a nine-month international in-studio course, offered for the sixth year by COCHLEA res in central Athens/Greece, organised in five accumulative modules where somatic and hands-on practices, contemporary theory and contemporary choreography intersect.
Program includes certified-technique morning-classes, followed by making & researching strategies workshops, taught in english, by renown members of the greek & international dance-artists community, including certified teachers of the Alexander Tech., Body-Mind Centering (SME), Contact Improvisation, Contemplative Dance Practice, Cranial-Sacral Therapy, SPP Fascia, Feldenkrais Meth., Franklin Method, Klein Tech., Rolfing Structural Integration, Skinner Releasing Tech., ViewPoints, Body-Weather, as well as theorists & practitioners of dramaturgy, improvisation, relational choreography, and more (calendar cochleares.com/oneyearcourse).
GEBB is structured into 5 modules, leading to a two-week residential horizontal laboratory by the sea. Modules typically consist of (1) a week of experimental anatomy classes, (2) a week of post-MeToo post-COVID hands-on practices, (3) a week of contemporary theory on body, gender, movement & space, (4) a week of dynamic improvisation technique, and (5) a week of witnessing, performing & creative practice, leading to (6) a week of studio practice gently held by a guest mentor, including private sessions & self-directed time working alone-together in the studio, to rest, digest, reflect and transition towards a decompressing break (continue reading cochleares.com/oneyearcourse).
