Combo Class: Inside Extremity & Movement

Combo Class

This class is a combo class. Eva Georgitsopoulou and Tamae Yoneda share the class and teach their respective dance styles at different intervals.

Inside Extremity

Inside Extremity is a contemporary dance training method developed and taught by Eva Georgitsopoulou since 2015. The aim of Inside Extremity is to build a frame for contemporary dance training which shall apply to both professional and non professional participants. The vision of the course remains the same up to now. Everyone shall have access in the contemporary dance field. Everyone shall have the chance to train their physicality inside a demanding movement structure which develops each individual in a personal way. The courses are focused on directed technical improvisation and through continuous movement and speed lead the participants into an ongoing balance between impulsive movement and self-direction/ control. Any set material is inspired and related to the Improvisation tools. The class starts with technical improvisation, moves into a series of exercises and strengthening movement patterns and finishes with a movement combination which trains coordination, speed and among all clarity and energy .

Inside Extremity is looking for constant creativity and sharpness inside the movement – mind relationship and aims to create mental confidence through physical confidence. In the spectrum of dance as a language, this method’s vision is for the body to develop as a source of endless vocabulary and for each participant to transform into an ongoing physical storyteller. 

Movement Poetry

Creating art using meaningful words with a playful feeling translated into dance and movement.  My main language is contemporary and I learned many words from a lot of different styles which I combine to turn contemporary into my poetry. This is a highly dynamic contemporary class using mixture of physical styles.  The class will begins with a warm up and continue with learning various material including; floor movement, set phrases and improvisation. In the last part of the class we will learn playful choreography, and use it to play with your own sense musicality and character.
