Vinna með hreyfingar í tíma og rúmi /Exploring movement dynamics in time and space
Samtímadans Athanasia Kanellopoulou er kraftmikill og dýnamískur. Það stafar af sterkri tækni hennar, bakgrunni og ástríðu fyrir hreyfingu og listum. Í tímunum einbeitir hún sér að því að styrkja spunafærni ásamt því að nota verkfæri eins og notkun andardráttarins, styrk miðjunnar og skriðþunga hverrar hreyfingar. Dansinn felur í sér gólfvinnu, kóreógrafískt efni og rútínur. Frá hraða til rósemi, frá innri kyrrð til dýnamískrar hreyfingar. Danstímarnir munu leiða þig í gegnum kraftmikinn dans sem felur í sér skilning á innra og ytra rýminu.
Athanasia Kanellopoulou’s contemporary class is powerful and physical. It derives from her strong technique and performative background and her passion for movement and artistic exchange. The classes are concentrating on strengthening the improvisation skills, as well as using tools such as the use of the breath, the strength of the center and the momentum of each movement. The classes include strong floor work, choreographic material and composition, which are going through changes of qualities and dynamics. From speed to calmness, from inner stillness to the explosion of the movement. The movement journey will take the dancers and the participants to a dynamic dance that incorporates understanding of the interior and exterior space.
