Release technique class by Akikai Nita

仁田晶凱WS


Akikai Nita, a resident artist in residence for the 2023 fiscal year, will hold a workshop.

Release technique is a technique to control the bounce from the floor and gravity that the body receives by relaxing the whole body using the breath, and to efficiently continue the movement. It has been studied by many dancers since the birth of modern dance as a universal technique that can be applied to any dance form in the diversifying world of contemporary dance.

There are many ways to look at release technique, and it is difficult to define, and there are no specific certifications. In this class, Akikai Nita, a graduate of P.A.R.T.S. (Parts), a dance education school founded by Anne Teresa de Case-Michael that focuses on release technique, will teach students how to use release technique in a way that suits them through upper body movement, lower body manipulation, relationship with the floor, and combinations of these. He will show you how to use the release technique in a way that suits you.
