Obsah

The content of the course is designed as a practical class that is aimed at exploring and physically mastering the movement principles used in modern and contemporary dance and apply the acquired movement experience to movement forms. It addresses the connection between movement content in terms of its functionality and movement form.

Specific topics for exploration include the functional body posture, general principles of the body's functioning in space and time; and the theme of the transition from conscious perception to movement action, movement principles and qualities used in modern and contemporary dance. Thematic improvisation, movement games, dance combinations or various touch techniques are used as a form for movement exploration.

The goal of the course is to gain an understanding of the unifying principles of modern and contemporary dance techniques and to gain physical experience tied to specific movement themes, principles, and movement qualities. Also, to acquire the skills to use movement exploration opportunities on a specific movement theme to gain physical experience that can then be transferred and applied to movement forms across modern and contemporary dance techniques. In doing so, the course offers preparation and subsequent support for teaching traditional modern and contemporary dance techniques.
