Dobro jutro telo / Good morning body I-III

SLO

Delavnica Dobro jutro, telo bo vsak dan uvod v celodnevni program 1. Jesenske plesne šole. Pod vodstvom različnih pedagogov bomo z nizom raznolikih praks počasi prebudili telo, ga ogreli, začutili, raztegnili in pripravili na nadaljnje plesne treninge.

Vsako jutro bo prineslo drugačen pristop – od pilatesa, joge in somatskih tehnik do nežnih gibalnih raziskovanj –, ki bo udeležencem omogočil, da v svoj plesni dan vstopijo z več zavedanja, odprtosti in lahkotnosti.

Delavnica je primerna za vse, ki želijo svoj plesni dan začeti v stiku s sabo, v gibanju in z dobro energijo.

The Good Morning, Body workshop will serve as the daily warm-up and gentle introduction to the Winter Dance School program. Guided by various teachers, we will wake the body through a range of practices—warming, stretching, sensing, and preparing it for the training that follows.

Each morning will offer a different approach, from Pilates, yoga, and somatic techniques to subtle movement explorations, allowing participants to enter their dance day with greater awareness, openness, and ease.

The workshop is suitable for anyone who wishes to begin their dance day in connection with themselves, in movement, and with positive energy.

Ann Papoulis: Cunningham plesna tehnika / Cunningham dance technique III

SLO:

Na tem klasu se boste učili Cunningham plesno tehniko, ki vključuje celovito delo hrbta in nog s središčem v medenici. Po ogrevanju boste izboljšali sposobnost uporabe svoje energije za gibanje v prostoru okoli sebe in v 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.

EN:
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.

Ann Papoulis: Delavnica Plesati z umom telesa / Workshop Dancing with the mind of the body I-III

SLO
PLESATI z UMom TELESA
O čem razmišljate, ko plešete?
Kako vaše misli vplivajo na vaše gibanje?
Na tej delavnici bomo raziskovali ta vprašanja. Poigravali se bomo s podobami iz vašega notranjega sveta, iz umetnosti, iz voda Jadranskega morja ... ter odkrivali, kako lahko te podobe razširijo in obogatijo vašo plesno paleto.

Ann Papoulis je umetnica na področju uprizoritvenih in vizualnih umetnosti. V središču njenega ustvarjanja je dialog med umom in telesom. Poučevati je začela pri 23 letih v studiu Cunningham na Manhattnu. Od takrat vodi ure tehnike in delavnice za šole ter umetniške skupine v ZDA in po vsej Evropi. Med njenimi stvaritvami je opera Pokrajina misli, ki jo je režirala, zanjo ustvarila koreografijo in napisala glasbo ter jo postavila na oder ljubljanske SNG Opere in baleta.

DANCING with the MIND of the BODY
What do you think about when you are dancing?
How do your thoughts impact how you move?
In this workshop we will consider these questions. We will play with images from your inner life, from art, from the waters of the Adriatic Sea…, exploring how they can expand and enrich the palette of your dancing.

Ann Papoulis is a performing and visual artist. The dialogue between the mind and the body underlies her creations. She began teaching at the age of 23 at the Cunningham Studio in Manhattan. She has since taught technique classes and workshops for schools and companies in the US and throughout Europe. Among her performances is Pokrajina Misli an opera she directed, choreographed and composed at the National House of Opera and Ballet in Ljubljana.

Tomaž Simatović: Do plesa iz telesa / Dance from the Body I-III

SLO 
Delavnica “Do plesa iz telesa” je namenjena telesno-gibalnem raziskovanju in plesnem ustvarjanju. Namenjena je vsem, ki si želijo spoznati kako uplesniti notranje vzgibe, ter pristopiti plesnemu ustvarjanju skozi puslušanje telesa. Ustvarjali bomo ples izhajajoč iz avtentičnosti trenutka, njegove čustvene kvalitete in kinestetične energije. Sledilo bo razvijanje gibalnih tem dokler nas ne privedejo do plesa kateremu se prepustimo. Vadili bomo kako biti prisotni v telesu, ter spoznavali kako lahko spoštovanje dejanskega čustvenega stanja predstavlja ustvarjalne pogoje za bolj avtentične gibalne kvalitete, ki hkrati tudi ohranjajo stik z energijo in čustvenostjo, ki ju dejansko premoremo. Tomaž bo delil svoje dolgoletno delo, ki temelji na introspekciji, raziskovanju plesa iz potrebe telesa, ter uteleševanja čustvene energije skozi ples skozi ritem, gibalni občutek ter prostor. 

Tomaž Simatović je performer, plesalec, koreograf, pedagog, in neodvisen raziskovalec. Trenutno živi in dela v Avstriji, kjer razvija plesne, in participatorne projekte v okviru “Laborarory for Participative Imaginaries”, v sodelovanju z Andrásem Meszericsom. Ples je študiral na SEADu v Salzburgu, MA iz koreografije pa osvojil na ArtEZ Institut of the Arts na Nizozemskem. Kot pedagog je poučeval mednarodno, od ZDA, Europe, do Kitajske, kjer je skozi neprestanega pedagoškega dela, ter koreografskega in performativnega raziskovanja, ukvarjal z ozaveščanjem somatičnih izkušenj performerjev in plesalcev, kar ga je pripeljalo do razvijanja metod (Somatic Listening in Bodyspeaking), ki temeljijo na čutnem poslušanju telesa.

The "Dance from the Body" workshop is dedicated to the exploration of the inner body and movement and dance creation. It is designed for anyone wishing to learn how to translate inner impulses into dance and to approach dance creation by listening to the body. We will create dance rooted in the authenticity of the moment, emotional quality, and kinaesthetic energy. We will develop movement themes that eventually lead us into a flow to which we can fully surrender. We will practice being present in the body and discover how respecting our actual emotional state creates the conditions for more authentic movement qualities—qualities that maintain a connection to the energy and emotion we genuinely possess. Tomaž will share insights from his body of work that is based on introspection, exploring dance arising from the body's needs, and the embodiment of emotional energy through rhythm, movement sensation and space. 

Tomaž Simatović is a performer, dancer, choreographer, educator, and independent researcher. He currently lives and works in Austria, where he develops dance and participatory projects within the framework of the "Laboratory for Participative Imaginaries”, in collaboration with András Meszerics. He studied dance at SEAD in Salzburg and earned an MA in Choreography from the ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in the Netherlands. As an educator, he has taught internationally—from the USA and Europe to China—where, over more than a decade of continuous teaching and choreographic and performance-based research, he focused on the embodiment of somatic experiences; this work led him to develop approaches (Somatic Listening and Bodyspeaking) rooted in the sensory listening of the body. 

Evin Hadžialjević: Sodobni plesni klas / Contemporary dance class I

SLO
Prebudili bomo telo in ga skozi mehko gibanje popeljali od tal v prostor. Začeli bomo z ogrevanjem in raziskovanjem osnovnih elementov sodobnega plesa na tleh, nato pa gibanje postopoma razširili v stoječe fraze in prehode med različnimi nivoji. Skozi gibalne fraze bomo potovali po prostoru, ga zapolnjevali s svojim telesom ter raziskovali različne ritme in dinamike. Poudarek bo na tekočem, povezanem gibanju in občutku za pretok gibanja – da se gibanje naravno preliva iz enega elementa v drugega in nas ponese skozi prostor.

EN
We will awaken the body and, through soft movement, guide it from the floor into the space. We will begin with a warm-up and an exploration of the basic elements of contemporary dance on the floor, gradually expanding the movement into standing phrases and transitions between different levels. With dance phrases we will travel through space while exploring different rhythms and dynamics. The focus will be on fluid, connected movement and a sense of flow—allowing movement to naturally transition from one element to the next and carry us through space.

Evin Hadžialjević: Sodobni plesni klas / Contemporary dance class II

SLO
Tudi pri tem classu bomo telo prebudili skozi mehko in povezano gibanje ter raziskovanje osnovnih principov sodobnega plesa. Gibanje bomo nadgradili z več poudarka na spiralnem gibanju, prehodih med nivoji in potovanju skozi prostor. Igrali se bomo z različnimi ritmi, poudarki in dinamiko gibanja ter raziskovali kontrast med mehkim, pretočnim gibanjem in bolj odsekanim, poudarjenim gibom. Skozi vse to bomo iskali igrivost v gibanju – se prepustili njegovemu pretoku in ga z majhnimi impulzi, poudarki ali spremembami znova preusmerili.

Evin Hadžialjević se z gibanjem ukvarja že od zgodnjega otroštva. Svojo plesno pot je poglobila na Umetniški gimnaziji Ljubljana, smer sodobni ples, nato pa diplomirala na Labanu v Londonu. Pedagoško izobraževanje je nadaljevala v Kopru ter magistrirala na AGRFT, kjer je pridobila naziv magistrica umetnosti giba. Kot plesalka in pedagoginja že vrsto let aktivno deluje na domači in mednarodni plesni sceni. Sodelovala je s skupino EnKnapGroup, Jonahom Bokaerjem, Matejo Bučar, Andrejo Rauch Podrzavnik ter drugimi priznanimi umetniki in ustvarjalci na področju sodobnih uprizoritvenih umetnosti.

In this class, we will also awaken the body through soft, connected movement and an exploration of the fundamental principles of contemporary dance. We will build on these foundations with a greater focus on spiral movement, transitions between levels, and traveling through space. We will play with different rhythms, accents, and movement dynamics, exploring the contrast between soft, flowing movement and more sharp, defined gestures. Throughout the class, we will cultivate a sense of playfulness in movement—surrendering to its flow while continuously redirecting it through small impulses, accents, and subtle shifts.

Evin Hadžialjević is a dancer and dance teacher whose practice has been rooted in movement since childhood. She studied contemporary dance at the Ljubljana Secondary School for Arts and Design and graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London. She later pursued pedagogical studies in Koper and earned a Master of Arts in Movement from the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT). Working across performance, choreography, and education, she has been an active presence on the Slovenian and international contemporary dance scene for many years. Her collaborations include EnKnapGroup, Jonah Bokaer, Mateja Bučar, Andreja Rauch Podrzavnik, and other renowned artists and creators in the field of contemporary performing arts.

Ingrid Gregorič: Jazz I, Jazz 2

SLO
Jazz plesna delavnica je namenjena raziskovanju tehnike, ritma, dinamike in interpretacije giba. Na začetni stopnji se bomo osredotočili na tehnične osnove jazz plesa, koordinacijo, izolacije, delo s težiščem, muzikalnost ter ustvarjanje krajših koreografskih sekvenc. Spoznali bomo elemente in principe različnih pristopov, ki so zaznamovali razvoj jazz tehnike, kot so Luigi, Matt Mattox in Giordano, ter jih povezovali s sodobnimi in osebnimi pristopi. Na nadaljevalni stopnji bomo znanje nadgradili z zahtevnejšimi kombinacijami ter se dotaknili tudi zgodovinskih korenin jazz plesa, njegovega odnosa do glasbe, ritma in improvizacije. Jazz je natančen, dinamičen in izrazito ritmičen plesni jezik, ki združuje tehnično zahtevnost z močnim osebnim izrazom.

Ingrid Gregorič je plesna pedagoginja, koreografinja in ustvarjalka, ki je študirala ples na akademiji Codarts v Rotterdamu. Svoje znanje je dodatno nadgrajevala v New Yorku, Milanu in Rotterdamu na področju jazza, modernega in sodobnega plesa, plesne pedagogike, ustvarjalnega giba ter pristopov, povezanih s plesno in gibalno terapijo. Kot pedagoginja je delovala na Konservatoriju za glasbo in balet Ljubljana, na plesni akademiji v Ljubljani ter v številnih plesnih društvih in organizacijah v Sloveniji in Italiji. V svojem delu povezuje tehnično znanje, ustvarjalnost in raziskovanje telesa ter ples razume kot prostor izraza, odnosa, razvoja in osebne izkušnje.

The Jazz Dance Workshop is dedicated to exploring technique, rhythm, dynamics, and movement interpretation. At the beginner level, we will focus on the technical foundations of jazz dance, coordination, isolations, use of weight, musicality, and the creation of short choreographic sequences. We will explore elements and principles from different approaches that have shaped jazz technique, including Luigi, Matt Mattox, and Giordano, while connecting them with contemporary and personal approaches. At the advanced level, we will build on this knowledge through more complex combinations and also explore the historical roots of jazz dance, its relationship to music, rhythm, and improvisation. Jazz is a precise, dynamic, and highly rhythmic dance language that combines technical challenge with strong personal expression.
