A dance week with Ann Papoulis
Ljubljana, November 11 – 16, 2024

Slovenska plesna scena je neizmerno vesela, saj bo Ljubljano ponovno obiskala Ann Papoulis. Ann, svetovno priznana plesna pedagoginja in koreografinja, je s svojo edinstveno mešanico ustvarjalnosti, strasti in tehnične odličnosti pustila trajen vtis na slovenske plesalce. Za mnoge so bile Annine delavnice izkušnje, ki so jim spremenile življenje in jim pomagale rasti ne le kot plesalci, ampak tudi kot umetniki. Njena vrnitev se zdi kot dolgo pričakovano srečanje.

Ann Papoulis ima impresivno ozadje, saj je delala z legendarnim Merceom Cunninghamom. Cunninghamov revolucionarni pristop h gibanju in koreografiji je imel trajen vpliv na plesni svet, Annine izkušnje z njegovim delom pa govorijo o njenem globokem znanju in spretnostih. Čas, ki ga je preživela pri Cunninghamu, je oblikoval njeno razumevanje gibanja, prostora in odnosa med plesom in glasbo, kar vse vnaša v svoje poučevanje.

The dance community in Slovenia is buzzing with excitement and joy as the incredible Ann Papoulis is returning to Ljubljana. Ann, a world-renowned dance educator and choreographer, has left a lasting impression on dancers across Slovenia with her unique blend of creativity, passion, and technical excellence. For many, Ann’s workshops have been life-changing experiences, helping them grow not only as dancers but as artists. Her return feels like a long-awaited reunion.

The countdown to her arrival has begun, and dancers of all ages and levels who are ready to dance and be inspired are welcome to learn from her once again!

Ann Papoulis has an impressive background, having worked with the legendary Merce Cunningham. Cunningham’s groundbreaking approach to movement and choreography has had a lasting impact on the dance world, and Ann’s experience with his work speaks volumes about her depth of knowledge and skill. Her time with Cunningham shaped her understanding of movement, space, and the relationship between dance and music, all of which she brings into her teaching.

URNIK / SCHEDULE

Cunningham Technique

In this class you will learn the fundamentals of the Cunningham technique — comprehensive back & leg work centered in the pelvis. After the warm-up you will enhance your ability to use your energy to inhabit and dialogue with the space around you through an adagio, a phrase moving across the floor and jumps. Emphasis throughout the class is on focusing both the body and mind in order to unleash your physical power.

Cunningham Tehnika

Na tem klasu se boste naučili osnov tehnike Cunningham – celovito delo hrbta in nog s središčem v medenici. Po ogrevanju boste izboljšali sposobnost uporabe svoje energije za gibanje v prostoru okoli sebe in dialog z njim, skozi adagio -  frazo, ki se premika skozi prostor in skokih. Poudarek celotnega klasa je na osredotočenju telesa in uma, da sprostite svojo fizično moč.

Liberating Imaginative Energies

This workshop is based on THE IRIS MAP, an original method that perceives the imagination as being comprised of 7 principle energy spaces. You will learn how to enter these energies through mind & body exercises, animal analogies, works of art, film. As you move through this richness inside of you, you will be given opportunities to generate your own movement, gestures, narratives, together with the other participants. The workshop is open to dancers, actors, musicians and beyond. No dance technique required.

Osvobajajoče domišljijske energije

Ta delavnica temelji na THE IRIS MAP, izvirni metodi, ki domišljijo dojema kot sestavljeno iz 7 osnovnih energijskih prostorov. Naučili se boste vstopiti v te energije skozi vaje za um in telo, živalske analogije, umetniška dela, film. Ko se premikate skozi to bogastvo v sebi, vam bodo dane priložnosti, da ustvarite svoje lastne gibe, geste, pripovedi, skupaj z drugimi udeleženci. Delavnica je namenjena plesalcem, igralcem, glasbenikom in več. Plesna tehnika ni potrebna.
