Contemporary Training

Alongside work with various choreographers and artists, the practice of “moving with eyes closed” (authentic movement in its variations) has accompanied and influenced Sabina Holzer’s artistic exploration just as much as her years of practice in capoeira. Both of these train movement intuition and sensory perception in different ways and concern the various states of tension of the body. On these lines, the training concerns itself with memory and imagination in embodying, movement processes and rhythms. The exploration of the anatomy and hands-on work helps to physically anchor energies and to translate them into different movement qualities. In choreographic, structured frameworks, movement tasks and improvisations, the understanding of one’s own movement contexts and reaction patterns are deepened in order to approach them in a playful way and to make contact with one another.
