Description:

Raekallio Corp. together with artist and coach duo Elke Schroeder and Mikko Rinnevuori will host a two day intensive on gaining strength and cultivating skills as movement professionals.

This is a workshop to help dancers have agency and freedom in their own training. The goal is to complement an existing dance practice with task-based improvisation and strength training. Elke will provide an in-depth analysis of how to use task-based improvisation within an organized framework in to expand movement capacity, generate creative material and “pre-hab” injury. Mikko will unpack the “myths” and useful practices of strength and explosivity training for dancers. The day will be split between the dance studio and the gym. 

This workshop is directed at professional movement artists (dancers and circus artists among others) and pro-level students, and will include physical practice, lecture, reference material and Q & A support.
