Vasko Nasonov
impulses, gravity, rebounce, flow
this is a physical contemporary dance class that focuses on exploring the body’s full physical potential. through the use of natural internal tools, we aim to move with greater efficiency and ease. the class integrates principles from biomechanics and ideas of natural sources of energy, such as free fall, to create movement that is both powerful and effortless. vasko uses technical ideas from contemporary dance, breaking, and acrobatics. by combining them, we can use extreme physical movements without losing the flow and play with speed, softness, and other qualities. it’s mostly a technical class, with a focus on combining technical principles with physical abilities. vasko’s main idea is to perform it with an effortless quality without losing the power. work with external and internal sources. the class will consist of a warm-up using the locomotions with one of the technical ideas for the lesson. the next part is work with the movements and variations (speed, quality, space, initiations, etc.), which combine into small connections. also, some improvisation ideas or partnering exercises can be added constantly to understand the movements from different perspectives. at the end we will go to the dance phrase to feel how else it is possible to use the ideas.
the description reflects an artist’s idea which was developed at the time it was submitted to b12. it may have changed by the time the workshop or the performance project is starting. please stay flexible. thank you!
