About this Event

“DS/DM is a way of preparing the body for dance that is inherent to your thinking and your imagination. It needs a connection with your own choices, also during the improvisation with other elements and choreographic materials. The experience creates a condition and an opening, it is not something fixed by rules that say: this is how you should dance. It is rather the opposite, you use it, and then you contrast it in an open field of intervention and manipulation".

- Emio Greco

Elke week opent ICK haar deuren om onze dansmethode te delen met jou. Tijdens de les wordt de sensitiviteit van het lichaam ontdekt door middel van vier basisprincipes: breathing, jumping, expanding en reducing. Elk onderdeel gaat gepaard met meerdere oefeningen die organisch in elkaar overlopen, veelal gestimuleerd door geluid en muziek.

De lessen zijn voor iedereen geschikt ongeacht leeftijd of conditieniveau en worden gegeven in het Engels.

De DS/DM-methode is ontwikkeld door choreografen Emio Greco en Pieter C. Scholten en staat aan de basis van iedere voorstelling van ICK Amsterdam. Het wordt al vele jaren wereldwijd onderwezen en speelt een essentiële rol in de overdracht naar dansers, studenten, amateurdansers, scholen en het bedrijfsleven.

"DS/DM is een manier om het lichaam voor te bereiden op dans die inherent is aan je denken en je verbeelding. Het heeft een verbinding nodig met je eigen keuzes, ook tijdens de improvisatie met andere elementen en choreografisch materiaal. De ervaring schept een voorwaarde en een opening, het is niet iets dat vastligt in regels die zeggen: zo moet je dansen. Het is eerder het tegenovergestelde, je gebruikt het, en dan stel je het tegenover elkaar in een open veld van interventie en manipulatie". - Emio Greco

ENG

Every week ICK opens its doors to share our dance method with you. During the classes the sensitivity of the body is discovered through four basic principles: breathing, jumping, expanding and reducing. Each part is accompanied by several exercises that flow organically, often stimulated by sound and music.

The classes are suitable for everyone, no matter age or physical condition and are given in English.

The DS/DM method has been developed by choreographers Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten and is at the basis of every performance of ICK Amsterdam. It has been taught worldwide for many years and plays an essential role in the transfer to dancers, students, amateur dancers, schools and the business world.
