Contemporary dance to urban sounds with Irina Marinescu, in Bucharest

Dance starts from how you feel, from your body's personality, from your awareness of space and your inner rhythm. I invite you to dance workshops where the focus will be on feeling good, learning contemporary dance principles and techniques, and dancing without shame. We will work with basic contemporary dance and performance techniques. The focus will be on working with body memory, developing kinetic skills, working with rhythm and spatial awareness, and developing a (group) choreography.

Urban dance workshop /1 hour 30 min/ 1 person

In this hour-and-a-half workshop, we (re)discover movements and ways in which we can connect to urban sounds, train our bodies, coordination, and creativity. The workshop is open to all adults, regardless of age (18-80 years old) and movement experience. We aim to relax and have fun hunting for sounds in the city (ambulances, drills, birds, etc.) and embodying them in creative ways. 

This workshop is part of the UnShame Dance contemporary dance program. Through UnShame Dance, I propose a way of self-discovery and development of your kinetic and emotional abilities. I propose that we let go of our shame about dancing, because dance is our native language—one that we can all speak, even if we don't know all the grammatical rules. The workshops are dedicated to both those who think they can't dance and those who have discovered dance and want to learn more about how they can personalize their style.

What participants say about the workshops:

"If you are lucky enough to be guided by Irina de Marinescu early in the morning on a journey where you discover how the sounds and movements of the city can harmonize, everything becomes urban music. And that's how we can learn to dance with a smile on our faces, whether we're crossing the street or flying through the air carried by bells on a deserted alley." (Alisa)
