Residency Showing / Workshop

Aura, Ashley & Freshca

The expression ‘Feeling it’ describes the moment in which a dancer is completely absorbed in the movement, the music and the moment. It is a state of complete harmony in which the boundaries of technique and thought disappear and the movement comes spontaneously and intuitively from within. In this state of flow, improvisation feels effortless, as if the body is ‘feeling’ the music and not just reacting to it. This moment is difficult to capture or plan, but can it be learnt through practice, surrender and letting go of control to dive faster and deeper into this trance-like state?During their two-week residency, Aura, Ashley and Freshca will be exploring this feeling. They want to find out how they, as hip-hop and krump dancers, integrate this essential moment into their dance practice and what strategies and methods they can develop when the ‘feeling’ fails to materialise. In a public showing combined with a workshop, Aura, Ashley and Freshca will share their findings with other dancers and interested parties.
