About the workshops with Elena Bolelli
Gaga/people
Gaga/people classes offer a framework for users to connect to their bodies and imaginations, experience physical sensations, improve their flexibility and stamina, exercise their agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.
Throughout the class, participants are guided by a series of evocative instructions deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation. Rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging experience. While many instructions are imbued with rich imagery, the research of Gaga is fundamentally physical, insisting on a specific process of embodiment. Inside this shared research, the improvisational nature of the exploration enables each participant’s deeply personal connection with Gaga.
Gaga/people classes are open to people aged 16+, No previous dance experience is needed.
Movement workshop / contemporary
This workshop will focus on the connection between movement and voice , in order to create a new experience using different rhythms employing the sound of our voice and our bodies.
We will also investigate and research how to use performance as a medium for authentic moments of story-telling.
About the workshop with Fuji Hoffmann - contemporary / choreography
In this workshop, you and Fuji will explore movement and the creative and poetic power of contemporary dance. The focus will be on the joy of movement, creation and elements of technology. Like in a regular dance lesson, we start with a warm-up and later move on to exercises in improvisation and composition.
About Tranås at the Fringe
Tranås at the Fringe is a multidisciplinary arts festival in the small town of Tranås (Sweden), a charming place on the edge of lake Sommen, surrounded by the woodlands of Småland. For eight days, artists from Sweden and other countries from different disciplines in literature, film and performing arts meet and put on about 100 events.
Presenting various performances in hotel lobbies, cafés, restaurants, pubs, libraries, on the street, theatre premises, music venues and in outdoor cafés is a model that the festival has developed over several years. All to open the world of art to new curious audiences and offer original, spontaneous, eventful, fast-paced and inspiring experiences where the boundary between those who perform and those who are spectators is blurred to create intimacy between professionals and amateurs, between practitioners and audiences.
The festival offers proximity to the performer, mingling, informal meetings and spontaneous conversations for participants, students and audiences, both local and international. It promotes and creates collaboration opportunities, exchanges, network dialogue, skill development, meeting places, opportunities to perform and more! Through the length of the festival, we want to make it possible for participants, both performers and audiences, to get to know each other and create connections that last for a long time.
COMPASS Stage is a space for artists to share their work with an audience. The performances don’t have to be finished, the focus is on the possibility to meet and have an exchange with the audience and other artists. The first COMPASS Stage was held at Tranås at the Fringe in July 2022.
