This workshop is the final stop of Nina Dipla's 2015 Asia Tour. Former Tanztheater Wuppertal dancer Nina Dipla will come to Macau to guide a contemporary dance workshop, teaching her unique artistic techniques. Directly influenced by Pina Bausch and combined with her own years of experience, Nina has developed her original physical technique. Her teaching methodology focuses on the performer's body weight, energy, breath, and movement quality; how to use space simply, harmoniously, and fluidly, avoiding regularization, is the main teaching principle she conveys. For every "True Moment" that occurs on stage, she allows the body to become part of the space, avoiding external/others' interference. After entering stillness, breathing, listening, relaxing, and awakening an even rhythm, filled with beauty, confidence, and joy, the body becomes autonomous in the moment.
Nina will lead participants in a public presentation on the final day of the workshop to share the results with the local audience.
In this workshop, participants are given the possibility to reach a deeper level of conscience and trust in their way of moving. Nina Dipla conducts the workshop by her original method, which has been influenced by Pina Bausch’s work, yoga, and aikido experiences. Nina always keeps in mind Pina's words: "The importance is not how the people move, but why they move." Simplicity, the use of space, and harmonious and fluid research will be the axes of this workshop. Nina will be working to provide the participants with the ability “to be true” and in the moment, to be a part of the space, and to avoid being influenced by others. To be simply open and available to the body and its necessity.
An open presentation will be shown by participants with Nina’s directing and choreography.
