◆Contents

research class

Dance, theater, martial arts and sports all have one thing in common: they all have an “opponent. The body plays, fights, and plays by repeatedly choosing to “match” or “miss” the opponent.

Like a musical instrument, instead of going to the exact pitch, let’s work together to find the right tuning of the body for that place, that time, and that person through dance.

Release Technique Class

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.

In the diversifying world of contemporary dance, release technique has been studied by many dancers since the birth of modern dance as a universal technique that can be applied to any dance form. There are various ways of understanding release technique, which is difficult to define, and there are no specific qualifications established by any particular organization.

In this class, Akikai Nita, a graduate of p.a.r.t.s. (Parts), a dance education school that focuses on the release technique, will teach students how to use the release technique through upper body movement, lower body manipulation, relationship with the floor, and combinations of these. The combination of upper body movement, lower body manipulation, and floor relationship will be taught.
