Part 1: Classes with Frederik Schnellinger (week 2-8)
The upcoming dance classes will contain improvisational tasks as well as given movement phrases. Towards the end of each lesson, there will be time to explore your own movement language.
Based on that we are going to choreograph together. The theme which frames the classes will revolve around gestures. Gestures as part of our everyday life as well as gestures in the context of dance history.

BIO: Frederik began his dance education at the age of eight in a private Ballet school. In the following years, he trained classical and contemporary dance at the “School of the Hamburg Ballet” and the “Folkwang University of the Arts” among others. Since 2021 he has been studying “Dance- oriented Social Work”. As part of his study program, he is currently doing an internship at DansiT.

Part 2: Classes with Anna Thu Schmidt (week 10-19)
The classes offer practice in contemporary dance through dance improvisation, technical exercises, floor work, movement phrases, composition tasks and working with choreography. Central in the course is to create body awareness and to discover your body language and movement vocabulary within the given task and material. The most important aspect is to enjoy dancing!
