WINTER INTENSIVE

2019 RUTH MILLS DANCE:THEATRE:MUSIC:FIL

3rd- 5th January 2019

The Winter Intensive is a labour of love, rooted in a desire to offer Scotland continuing professional development which expands with and for the art of contemporary dance as a progressive and evolving practice. This season, the course will run from 3rd- 5th January 2019, consisting of classes and workshops designed to support dancers and physical performers in their unique direction.Over the years, the intensive course has offered the ideal kick start to the year with workshops, lectures and masterclasses spanning all the fundamentals and collaborative opportunities which surround the art form. In the past, together with Technique, Release, Contact Improvisation and Choreography, participants have experienced masterclasses in music, rhythm and percussion, devised movement for theatre, lectures in contextual subjects of dance history, psychology, psycho analysis and dance for film.

The course is an injection of positivity and motivation popular with dancers and dance lovers as a great way to begin the year. Based in Glasgow, under the direction of Ruth Mills, participants will experience a deeper understanding of movement and dance physically, intellectually and spiritually.

COURSE CONTENT

MIND BODY CENTERING Designed to bring participants to a focussed and quiet connection to dance practice. Emptying the mind of external demands and worries and activating the body in preparation for the day ahead.

CLASS An energetic and technical class based on the fundamentals of Graham and Release, building healthy skeletal alignment, detailed and economical muscle engagement and the use of breath with the suspension and swing of natural momentum in the body. Participants will practice dynamic standing, travelling and floor work, building the articulation in the body for fluid movement in and out of the floor

WORKSHOPS This year’s workshop series comes in three uniquely connected masterclasses focussing on the work of some of the world’s most pioneering and gender defying choreographers.

Martha Graham, Jane Dudley and Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker.
