for all bodies who wish to create artful play between raw, earthy elements to personal expression and development
taught by Shinichi Iova-Koga and Dana Iova-Koga
Imagination changes the quality of what you do and opens a field of unexpected actions. At the same time, noticing what IS leads to inexhaustible possibilities. Trust your body. Connect to the expansive space that is your personal/universal environment at Dance on Land. In this intensive workshop, led by Shinichi and Dana Iova-Koga, develop your sensorial mind and creative responsiveness through rigorous physical and improvisational training rooted in Dao Yin, Qi Gong, Action Theater, Butoh, Yang Shen Gong, Noguchi Taiso and Body Weather Training. Immerse yourself in diverse environments- forests, river, ocean and field, to study both the patterns inherent in these environments as well as the responses your body. Then return to the dance studio to analyze and digest the experiences of the body in the wild.
