Dance artist Alanna Kraaijeveld has worked in the contemporary dance milieu for twenty years as a performer, teacher, and artistic support. She teaches nationally, at professional dance training institutions, festivals, organisations. For several years, she has been hosting dialogic practice initiatives that happily assemble different practitioners, materials and disciplines. Examples include wrestling and voice work (Susanna Hood), judo and storytelling (Catherine Lalonde), clay sculpture and dance, approaches to improvisation with Yves Charuest. These channel her artistic inquiry and connect her with artists of different ages, experience and creativity.
The practice ball is a tool I encountered in Fighting Monkey Practice. It is a ball on a string. It offers a dynamic context in which to align and make precise our technical work. It is also very playful, and so disrupts notions that play and serious work are different and separate ideas.
These classes center as an approach to try or test, to share, and to support, all through dances with the practice ball.
Collaboration – of our structures or bodies, with objects, with partners – is of value.
The aim is to expand our physical capacity, nurture our elasticity, and release tension, move and explore with greater awareness of of how dynamic contexts unlock our ability, and support our development.
