Format: Technique and Combinations
Description: In this workshop we will draw heavily
on Odissi - one of the most elegant Classical dances of India. We
will examine the principle of building movement from the footwork
and have it ripple deeply through the body, affecting the hips,
ribcage, shoulders as well as the head and eyes.
Understanding the natural progression of movement within the body will allow us to create a sense of ease, control and nuanced elegance, which can be later applied to any style of fusion. We will work at a careful, slow pace to allow a deeper understanding of this technique. The resulting series of combinations will be linked to create a beautiful moving meditation.
