Aneta Zwierzynska
Aneta's classes are partly a culmination of 16 years' worth of research into exchanging ideas between Capoeira and Contemporary Dance, specifically the dynamic release technique and floor work. These organic forms of movement have at their centre a focus on nature, creativity, and improvisation, as well as an emphasis on spiral dynamics and the connection between body, mind and spirit. In these classes, you will investigate ways to incorporate the total physical awareness necessary in Capoeira, whose roots partly lie in the art of fighting, into the more meditative world of release technique. Through Capoeira, you will explore self-expression within the medium of contemporary dance - using the quality and philosophy behind the movements as inspiration, without direct imitation. This poetic playfulness and animalistic physicality will provide a new and exciting dimension for dancers alike to explore.
