Workshop: Suggestion, seduction, surrender: the dynamics of the spiral with Claudia Kratzheller

Spirals are a dynamic shape that you encounter everywhere: be it in a growing plant, a DNA code, architectural constructs, your own walking pattern or a Tango ocho...

As well in CI as in Tango the use of the spiral is essential to our repertoire: it can be very subtle and elegant in walking, it can be lushly rolling on the ground, curling and reaching your limbs in love with the floor and other available playmates, it can be in quiet expansion and dynamic stillness before the explosion into the next moment-

We'll explore this beautiful state of being in various forms: from the relation to the ground rising into standing and playing with it in contact with each other, engaging in embrace and letting go again.

Please come and celebrate the joy of spirals together!
