Ziya Azazi Workshop
Whirling With/Through Improv
In this workshop, dancer/choreographer Ziya Azazi will bridge western contemporary with classical oriental, ritualistic sufi dance. the whirling of the dervish will serve as the basis for this study which will be explored with and through improvisational western dance.
For warm up we will do stretching, basic acrobatics and improvisation with different levels & body parts. Then it develops into trying to spin using different forms. e will experiment with creating simple movements on the vertical and horizontal planes and then this will be repeated in order to reach the borders of our physical and mental limits.
Ziya Azazi has been giving his workshop in Vienna, Istanbul, Hamburg, Paris, Amsterdam, Antalya/Turkey, Bogota/Colombia, Sao Paolo/Brasil, Caracas/Venezuela and mMondovi/Italy.
