Contemporary Dance on Tuesday
Explore. Move. Create.
Discover a range of contemporary dance practices in an open and welcoming environment. Each class of this course begins with simple, guided warm-up exercises to awaken the body, enhance joint mobility, build awareness, strength and alignment. While finding breath and fluidity in our movement, we’ll travel through space and explore short movement sequences inspired by various choreographic techniques. Using creative or improvisational tools, we’ll play with movement explorations, rhythm, space, and time, opening the senses to a wide spectrum of contemporary dance vocabularies. Come as you are, with or without previous dance experience. Enjoy moving and expanding within your own capacities and into a diverse musical landscape.
For this course you will have the occasion to work with two different teachers. Depending on the dates, the classes will be given by either Lise Vachon or Cassandre Cantillon.
Lise Vachon is a Canadian-born contemporary dance artist based in Belgium. A graduate of The School of Toronto Dance Theatre and PARTS, she has performed and worked with choreographers such as Arco Renz, Michèle Noiret, Dominique Duszynski, Marc Vanrunxt, and Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. As a choreographer, she has created and toured her own work internationally. Lise teaches at PARTS, where she is a pedagogical coordinator and tutor, and at Dancingkids program at Rosas. She has also worked as a rehearsal director and assistant on major opera productions across Europe.
