“The coolest couple on the dance scene, these champions of
contact dance are full of energy and enthusiasm both on and offstage”
NOW magazine, Toronto
Teaching approximately 1,600 students each year in EXPRESS DANCE,
Contact Dance and Improvisation completes a continuum effect for
us. What we explore in the classroom translates directly to the
process with our dancers in the studio, conversely, concepts that
we investigate in a workshop are inspired by our intrigue in the
studio.
When we teach EXPRESS DANCE in the schools, we find that the tighter
our parameters are with the students, the more they are able to
create movement material comfortably. We maintain physical direction
and show examples of the desired qualities. It is our intention
to bring forth an intensive experience of personal creation for
each student. The students get a lot of satisfaction from knowing
that they created and shared their individual movement inspired
from their own bodies.
During our workshops of Contact Dance and Improvisation we investigate
concepts that are relative to our artistic enquiry. It is a combined
journey of physical intrigue, concepts, momentum, qualities, images,
and fascination.
