PRAXIS with Nina Wollny - Inspiring Bodies
Wednesdays 05.02 - 12.02 - 19.02.2025 9:30am - 11:30am 
at DansiT, Strandveien 33, Trd.

About the classes: Exploring and learning about the human body and how its different parts collaborate has a strong and almost magical impact on our presence and therefore on our movements. Opening our body to this state of awareness can enrich, strengthen and inspire the way we dance. The starting point to each class is a topic related to the human body from a small simple detail to larger connections in the organism. The theme will be explored through games, free physical exploration, simple repetitive exercises and improvisation. In some classes we explore the themes in connection with a partner. Taking care of ourselves in order to take care of each other can be an interesting way to learn something about our own bodies. The classes become an open space for our own exploration, physical reflection and an opportunity for taking and giving care. We will explore 3 different topics. In class 1 we follow the baby's development from the floor up to walking. There is a lot to learn and read about this development and there is a certain idea of what is "normal" or not, but at the same time it is something that is extremely individual. Each baby takes their own journey and path up in their own timing. I have written down the very personal journey that my child Erle took. We take this journey as inspiration and will explore and work with the movements I observed. In class 2 we are up and ready to play. We will start with some fun awareness exercises and play with balls, gravity, momentum, the forces that move us and the movement they create. In class 3 we explore the listening between 2 bodies and the potential around it. We will include some of the explorations and discoveries of the first 2 classes.

BIO: Nina Wollny studied modern and contemporary dance at the Rotterdam Dance Academy, now Codarts, in the Netherlands.  Now she is following her own interests in sharing movement and dance and how it relates to the form and function of the human body, through a process that is not looking for a solution or a universal answer, but rather exploring a practice of finding questions together and letting them resonate in the individual's body and movement.
