Dances to a Beat
2 cr
Dances to a Beat (DTB) is a method for both creating instant choreography and practicing dance. The basic elements of DTB are improvisation, repetition and rhythm. The method trains many kinesthetic skills, including precision of movement, articulate musicality, and diverse expressiveness and creativity. The method challenges its practitioners to stay in the moment, to refuse to judge themselves and their own choices, and to intuitively trust the information built into their bodies. In DTB, everyone's own emotional and bodily history are simultaneously present and releasable.
As a practice of dissolving hierarchies, DTB helps to understand and appreciate the importance of the individual as a part of the whole, and on the other hand, it makes you see the whole as the sum of individual parts and factors..
