ABOUT TEACHERS AND CLASSES:
Maja Kalafatić (1984) graduated
from the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance. She takes part in
several original pieces as a choreographer and dancer and cooperates with
other artists. After returning to Slovenia, she completed a 2-year Yoga
teacher class in the Devi Yoga Centre. Maja teaches contemporary dance
technique at Intakt and Yoga in Devi and Parinama Yoga centers, as well
as at the Dance Theatre Ljubljana.
Yoga
The lesson is composed of
warming up, asanas for
strengthening and opening of the
muscles, breathing exercises and
relaxation techniques. Maja will
focus on psychosomatic exercises,
anatomical body placement,
coordination and balance. She will
keep you focused on full and
relaxed breathing. Pranayama
teaches deep and relaxed
breathing through dynamic
exercises as well. Relaxation
session will take place at the end
of every class.
SURPRISE CLASS
Each day a different dance teacher, guest of the Front@ of Contemporary Dance festival, will presents his daily
dance class or ritual through which she or he prepares body for the work on performances and choreographies.
Ingrid Kerec is a former
professional dancer, and has completed her training as a
Certified Rolfer® and Rolfing®Movement practitioner in
1998. Her work covers all aspects of Rolfing – from manual

Pilates, Gyrotonic and many other different sport and fitness
disciplines.
Additionally, through her dance training and practical
experience, she has developed a form of body-work
specifically designed for all types of dancers and dance
Fascia.
Training, mobilization and self-massage for
dancers.
After the last Dance Medicine Conference in
Berlin in 2012 on the topic fascia & dance, it
became clear that in the field of dance training
we also need to shift our focus to the connective
tissues - fascia - ligaments, tendons and joint
capsules. Chronic overuse, pain and dance
injuries also take place in these important
structures and seldom in muscles or bones
themselves alone.
Therefore, in this workshop we will learn about
fascial structures both theoretically and
practically. We will explore its characteristics,
how it functions, how to train it and how such
training opens new opportunities for change and
improvement in movement.
In addition to specific exercises that promote
fascial stability and elasticity we will show
relaxation, mobilization and self-massage
techniques that positively affect these structures,
teachers. This work is based on Rolfing concepts and the
theory of Dance Medicine.
Juan Dante Murillo Bobadilla was
born in Colombia in 1982. Within 2000-2005 Dante studied
Media Communication at the Javeriana University, where he
also continued his training in physical theater. He began a
parallel education in contemporary dance at the Dance
Academy Espacio Común Danza. In a short time he got to
work with some of the most representative dance
companies. In 2006 Dante moved to Austria where he
finished his studies in Contemporary Dance and Pedagogy at
the Anton Bruckner University. He is a regular member of
the Austrian dance companies Off Verticality (Linz) and
Editta Braun (Salzburg); since 2007 he joined Wee Dance
Company (Norway) directed by the choreographer Francesco
Scavetta. Dante has been part of successful ensembles and
festivals in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe…
Analysis / Synthesis (Methods of writing
about dance and for dance)
How to write about a concepts and for them?
How to see the work of another? At which point
begins the analysis - and opens the synthesis?
How to use writing as a means of formulation
and creation? The workshop will be dealing with
the skill of analysis of viewing and synthesis of
writing as a practice that serves to dancers,
teachers and choreographers, both within the
design process of choreographing and beyond.
The workshop will be a two-tier, through the
analysis of the performances at the festival
Front@ and parallel synthesis through our own
materials will seek to serve primarily as a tool
for future use.
while encouraging and supporting the health of
dancer’s bodies.
Improvisation and Group Intelligence
(class + workshop)
This course is suitable for people who are
interested in improvisation and new approaches
to this subject. Games, intuition, alert, listening,
surprise, rhythm, movement dynamics,
creativity, physicality, risk and joy are some of
the elements that we will experience during the
workshop. We all take the dance room as a
social space where we meet, share, and interact
with each other by following different playful
tasks. We will focus in taking collective decisions
while dancing and finding spontaneous and
creative paths to move in the room, always
connecting and getting inspired by each other.
By playing and improvising we will develop
certain intelligence as a group, like a flock of
birds or swarm of fishes we will practice and
improve the awareness of our dance in
connection with the others, the music and the
space.
Andreja Kopač (1980) acting as a journalist and
dramaturge, is a graduate of the journalism program, Master
of Linguistics and Speech Theory of Social Communication and
a PhD student of Sociology of Culture. She regularly writes for
the magazine Maska. She also works as a performer, mentor,
consultant and researcher. From 2009 to 2013 she
collaborated as dramaturge in more than 30 performances
and creative processes in the domestic and international
arena.
