This masterclass will combine physical risk-taking with a sense of play, creating a unique but highly accessible stage language.

I will be focusing on strong physical and dynamic phrases with the use of gravity and floor work and will be constantly challenging the body, working on the edge of what’s possible.

The workshop includes elements of improvisation, acting, physical theatre, contemporary dance and contact improvisation, with an emphasis on flow, flexibility and team-working. we will be working with specific themes and physical tasks as motivation for movements and emotions.

QUASAR

This solo performance is a unique , physically acrobatic, and musical experience drawing on Kasper Ravnhøjs last 25 years as a dancer, performer, and prominent figure on the experimental Danish performing arts free scene in a highly personal and intimate exploration of the core themes and inspirations that sparked the fire of the QUASAR concept.

The solo insists on the fire that burns in every movement: not just a dance, but a sacrifice; an insistence on life and the moment confronting emptiness, drawing meaning from the shadow and reminding us that in a universe created to consume, we choose to create, to shine.

Mute Comp. Physical Theatre is an award-winning company situated at the intersection of theatre and contemporary dance.

The company explores the physical space with the body as a sound breaker. In choreographies that examine the physical and empirical limits of the body, their works challenge both the dancers’ abilities and the audience’s perception of dance as an art form.
