Dates:

04.06. 2026– 06.06.2026

Description: In classes of Laban Movement Studies we are exploring and observing movement within the categories of Body, Effort, Space, Shape, Phrasing and Relationship. Movement is complex. It can be analysed within the structured system of Laban Bartenieff Movement Studies by approaching it through observation, perception, sensation and reflection. Like this we will experience our movement preferences and unknown territory of our moving body playfully. We will learn to understand how movement is composed. We work with set material and site specific improvisation.
