Christine Fricker/Compagnie Itinerrance Workshop

Workshop #3 - February 7, 9, & 10, 2012

10:00am - 2:00pm at the Dance Complex

Cost: $75 full workshop / $35 per day

Enrollment is limited and reservations are highly recommended: info@prometheusdance.org.

Christine Fricker, founder of Compagnie Itinerrances in Marseille, France will teach a three day workshop on structured improvisation. The focus of this workshop is on presence: the inside perception of movement compared to the outside perception of a watcher. We do this with the aim of noticing how each of us interprets and understands physical information. Working with different stimuli to create movement sequences, each participant will offer a personal answer to each task. The workshop will make connections to the performance project "Inventories of Animated Bodies".

Christine Fricker is a choreographer and teacher. Trained at the Marseille Opera, she continued on scholarship at the Alvin Ailey Center in New York. Upon returning to Marseille, France in 1991, she founded Compagnie Itinerrances, wishing to, "...demystify contemporary dance by making it directly accessible to the public." Her company regularly tours in France, Finland, Germany, Canada, Greece, Spain, USA, & Poland. Christine has received commissions from: University of Calgary, Maison de la Danse, Polish Dance Theatre, The Slender Festival, and ADIAM 83. She frequently conducts master classes over the globe.

AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT

Spring Session

with Fatou-Carol Sylla

Wednesdays, March 21 - May 9, 2012
(NO CLASS APRIL 18)

7:00 - 9:00pm

Registration fee: $165.00

Rooted in dance, healing practices and mysticism, Authentic Movement is open to all adults interested in exploring ways in which to live more fully in their bodies. It is a body centered practice that fosters deep listening, trusting the body, moving from the inside out, the integration of mind, body and spirit, and the unfolding of stories that need to be told.

Authentic Movement also helps one develop a sense of presence, self knowledge, the ability to accept support, build a non-judgmental attitude of self and others, and foster connections built on appreciation and compassion. This practice is also a wonderful source of creativity and art making.

Call Fatou-Carol Sylla at 617-868-6193 or email her at underthesundandd@hotmail.com for information and to register for class. Please register by March 5, 2012.

Fatou-Carol studied Dance Therapy practices and Authentic Movement at Lesley University where she received her M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies in Dance and also taught the course African Dance and Dance Therapy. She teaches for VSA arts of Massachusetts; a three-credit study abroad course, "Dance, Music and Culture in Senegal, West Africa", accredited through Lesley University and Authentic Movement and African dance a t the Dance Complex in Cambridge.
