Russell Maliphant and Dana Fouras Movement Workshops
We’re thrilled to be partnering with Russell Maliphant and Dana Fouras in the delivery of their first Australian workshop tour.
Russell & Dana have collaborated on numerous projects for over three decades. Together, they've honed a creative process that emphasizes a holistic approach to movement, focusing on personal expression, physical and spatial awareness, and functional aesthetics. Their strategies aim to enhance awareness and artistry for personal development and performance while ensuring a healthy relationship with the body's fundamental movement mechanisms. Drawing from their combined expertise in classical ballet, contemporary styles, and bodywork techniques, their workshops offer a playful and creative exploration of strength, range, and dynamics, suitable for performance, improvisation, and composition.
This workshop series will explore in-depth approaches to connection, flow, and momentum, for healthy, sustainable and dynamic movement. Dana will work alongside Russell, coaching the participants whilst also accompanying on sound to connect and augment the creative environment with her wide-ranging collection of musical energies. With the intention of increasing kinaesthetic awareness & acuity, building strength, and expanding movement possibilities on all levels whilst releasing holding patterns, we will use movement exercises and improvisational tasks to explore effects upon articulation, range and sequencing, both through the body and through space to expand our individual movement patterns and group connection.
