CONTEMPORARY INTENSIVE with Avikk 🕺🏽 & Xenia 💃🏼 Riga Studio

🔥 CONTEMPORARY INTENSIVE 🔥with Avikk 🕺🏽 & Xenia 💃🏼 Technique • Texture • Lyricality • Solo Performance • Duet & Contact Improvisation ………………………………………….. 📍 SATURDAY 11/07 15:30–20:30 Riga Studio & Productions 3 x 90-minute sessions + 30-minute Q&A ✨5 hours total This is not another choreography workshop. This is a focused contemporary room for dancers who want more than copying steps, finishing counts, or repeating the same safe movements. Most dancers can learn a phrase. But can you make the phrase breathe? Can you interpretate lyrics word by word? Can you perform a lyric without making it obvious? Can you stay still without disappearing, move without moving? Can you improvise at the level of performance, without repeating? Can you respond to another body or dancer without waiting for fixed steps? This intensive goes into that work and even more. ………………………………………….. ☞ 5-HOUR CONTEMPORARY INTENSIVE MAP ☜ CONTEMPORARY INTENSIVE with Avikk 🕺🏽 & Xenia 💃🏼 │ ├── 1.

Xenia will work with breath, centre, spine, floor, contraction and release, helping dancers find clearer initiation, stronger physical intention, and more truth in the body before style is added on top. ………………………………………….. 👉🏻 17:00–18:30 URBAN CONTEMPORARY WITH AVIKK 🕺🏽 Flow • Texture • Rhythm • Contrast • Musicality • Lyricality • Performance This class brings a modern musical edge to contemporary movement. Avikk will work with rhythm shifts, pauses, accents, texture, musicality, lyricality and performance quality. Here, lyricality is not only soft movement and musicality is not just beats. It is word-by-word Interpretations and not just movements. It is layer-by-layer muscality and not just catching beats. It is Music beyond the counts. You will work on how to catch musicality lyrics, perform meaning without becoming literal, use silence, change texture, and make movement feel personal, sharp, musical and alive. Soft, but not weak. Sharp, but not stiff. Still, but not empty. ………………………………………….. 👉🏻 18:30–20:00 SOLO PERFORMANCE & DUET / CONTACT IMPROVISATION with Avikk 🕺🏽, assisted by Xenia 💃🏼 There is a difference between dancing alone and holding a solo. There is also a difference between freestyle and performance-level improvisation. Avikk will lead this session from his experience of solo performances on TV shows, concerts, major stages, international events and performance projects. You will explore how to enter, hold attention, use stillness, perform lyrics, bring real feeling, avoid overacting, stop repeating safe movements, and make improvisation look polished, not accidental. Then the work opens into duet and contact improvisation, with Xenia assisting the partner response and connection part. Timing • Space • Contact • Weight • Impulse • Listening • Response Not fixed partnerwork. Not social dance patterns. Not random freestyle. Contact and response that can be used for performance. ………………………………………….. 👉🏻 20:00–20:30 Q&A WITH AVIKK 🕺🏽 & XENIA 💃🏼 Ask about technique, lyricality, solo performance, improvisation, duet work, practice methods, stage confidence, and how to use the material in your own dancing. Not only what to do. Why it works. How to practise it.
