Dancing Anatomies, workshop w Sebastian Grubb @ Forsøgsstationen

Dancing Anatomies Axis Syllabus Tools for Movement Research and Contact Improvisation ABOUT This workshop applies functional anatomy concepts and principles to solo movement research and shared contact dancing. We’ll give special focus to the structure, intelligence and use of the Living Spine for more aligned, powerful and expansive movement. The spine has 33 vertebrae and connects to many neighboring structures. It provides crucial support but is also mobile, working like an orchestra at the center of the body. Used in alignment, the spine can give tremendous support for partnering in CI, acrobatics and other dynamic weight-bearing practices. For anyone with a dance or movement practice. All levels welcome! Sebastian has been teaching dance and healthy movement principles since 2007. He recently moved to Copenhagen and is excited to share this work here. Learn more about Sebastian below.
