This masterclass deals with how to build and create movement practice by using harnesses in the air, on the floor and between one another. The focus is on how suspension is generated in our body through movement and the interpretation of the space and objects around us.
This practice is divided into two sections.
Floor Practice: In this first part we will approach the two mechanisms of "the vertical floor" and "horizontal suspension".
Aerial Suspension: In this section, we will climb the ropes with vertical dance apparatuses. The work in the air consists of diving deep into the inversion of the body, playing with improvisation and applying tools such as imagery, oppositions and rope manipulation to find other mechanisms of movement thought.
This class is suitable for:
Persons who practice some discipline related to movement. Dancers or students in dance. Circus artists or students in circus. Vertical dancers or students in vertical dance. Physical theatre or students in physical theater.
Eleonora Dall’Asta mainly works with movement in suspension, abandoned objects and site-specific performance.
Her methodology to approach movement comes from the space itself, its shapes, patterns, elements, architecture and nature, and is based on actions like: watching/feeling/imaging/describing/reinterpreting/moving.
