The workshop begins with a modern dance training inspired by Hans Zullig (Kurt Jooss company) and Alfredo Corvino (Juilliard).
Daphnis teaching focuses on a sequence of movements through which students are inspired to find their own movement.
A situation is created through constant questioning, which leads to students’ reaction generating a creative frame, unique for each participant. Bonds of trust allow students to feel free to explore their innermost feelings and to transform them into dance and theatre.
Daphnis uses music as a fundamental tool for transforming the way of moving and feeling.
All in all, it is a common journey into what makes us move and dance…
