Teaching

Coming with nothing and leaving with everything -
improvisation workshop

stillness - waiting - impulse - imagination

Mariangela Tinelli and Meltem Nil are inviting you to discover your own movement language and its connection with voice. This time we focus on stillness - waiting - impulse - imagination. It’s about the freedom of expressing impulses, to deal with them ‘dancefully’, playfully and to add language. Improvisation allows you to unfold your personal world of images and musicality. The workshop is open for everybody who wants to act in a different way, to do research and to shape the space. We will practice in groups, trios, duos and solos. Workshop language is German and English.
