Workshop and teaching 

​

Annette teaches classes with a curious and mindful physical experience. The movement material and choreography include material of rhythmical, dynamic and physical challenge, with emphasis on movement of the spine, shifting of the weight exploring symmetric and A-symmetric movements, movement pathways and free flow. The class have little or no stopping, encouraging a continuous flow, finding awareness between dancers and space. Her experience from Laban studies, acrobatic skills and Capoeira, influences her style of material, with emphasis on flow through precision of constant moving. She holds teacher training qualification from Laban Centre London and KHIO (PPU), Oslo. She has also participated at teacher training courses with Candoco Dance Company, Siobhan Davis Company, Step into dance, Jump start move,

​

Vocabulary and communication has a sentral role in her work, paying attention to external attentional focus and truly grasping the understanding of movement through the body, but also verbally. Annette has taken part in several research projects focusing on these topics. 

​

What to expect: My classes in Constant movement 

​

Professional level: Entering the work by building up attention to body architecture. Developing a dynamic class, paying attention to the weight of the body shifting in space, encouraging change of level and space, exploring floor work being grounded with hands and feet while being playful and curious. We work in a circle, across the floor, using the space and moving together as a group. The work may include some partner work relevant to the technical skills. Exiting with flow, letting go of the energy! 

​

Intermediate: Entering with body architecture warmup and playfulness. Explorations across the floor, some partner work to explore weight, build up communication and create great relations to peer dancers. Playful combination or improvisation tasks and exiting with celebration.  

​

Beginners (all ages): Entering with playful and curious warmup with focus on building a great group dynamic. Shifting across the space in relation to others, introducing simple technical tasks, exploring rhythmical experiences, working in pairs experiencing movement. Exiting with a ritual for the group
