We're honored to present Italian dance artist Gregorio Dragoni to Hong Kong in December and hold a four day guided improvisation workshop. Gregorio has been trained in ballet since childhood and later became a dancer with the renowned contemporary dance company KOMOCO DANCE (KC) in Italy for the 2023-2024 season. The classes will inspire participants' imagination and mind-body connection through various guided improvisation exercises, making them suitable for those who enjoy improvisation.

ABOUT THE CLASS:

The class explores research in movement through the use of various tools and tasks to stimulate the dancer's imagination and allowing them to acquire more familiarity in the body and mind connection, as well as decision making.

The main purpose of these classes is to achieve a level of confidence in one's choices and the ability, through peace of mind and enjoyment, to interact promiscuously with a group of other movers, and re-built a strong base for a group connection.

These improvisation classes are therefore made to grow as artists, both as individuals and as a group component, unlocking each one's personal skills and style, through continuous guidance as well as moments of sharing and reflecting with the group.

This work will prepare the artist to then learn a phrase at the end of every class, each one quoting a movement quality that was previously researched in the class.

Agung Gunawan’s set of skill-based improvisational dance techniques is derived from the philosophy of Javanese court dance. The master is coming to Hong Kong this time with the aim of offering a 4-day, nearly 21-hour intensive and rigorous workshop for professional dancers, as well as participants who already have certain concepts or understanding of stage or body performance. (However, rare exceptions will be made for single-session participation/experience.)

In this workshop, he will use his research methods and system to help participants reconnect with and rediscover their own bodies. At the same time, he will also share how he interprets and deconstructs certain materials or elements from nature and the environment, transforming them into a foundational concept for a semi-improvised performance.

「Body Integrity」
Šuka Horn舞蹈/形體工作坊

“Body Integrity" Dance/movement workshop by Šuka Horn

8-9/08/24 19-2200, 10/08/24 14-1800

去年受新視野藝術節邀請前來香港合演作品《INK》，「當代舞幻象大師」Dimitris Papaioannou的長期表演伙伴及舞者形體指導、德國舞者Šuka Horn即將前來香港主持舞蹈大師班。

在本工作坊中，導師將會分享他近年從現代舞、雜技和街舞方面的訓練中汲取靈感的身體研究，以及對原始身體挑戰的熱愛與對帶著意識和輕鬆舞動動的興趣相結合。學員將藉著不同的站立動作、舞動和地板動作，再結合與身體建立聯繫的知識，讓學員安全及喜樂地在「身體、心靈和思維」的內外層面擴展個人能力，並消除正式訓練和現實生活情境之間的界限。當然，導師也會分享他和Dimitris每天在排練前都會與他一起做的唯一練習。

Last year, invited by the New Vision Arts Festival to perform the work “INK” in Hong Kong, Šuka Horn — a long-time performance partner and movement coach of the “Master of Contemporary Dance Illusions” Dimitris Papaioannou, as well as a renowned German dancer — will soon be coming to Hong Kong to lead an intensive dance masterclass.

In this workshop, the instructor will share his recent body research inspired by training in contemporary dance, acrobatics, and street dance, combining his passion for challenging the primal body with his interest in moving with awareness and ease. Participants will engage in various standing exercises, movement practices, and floor work, integrating knowledge that deepens their connection with their own bodies.

Through this process, students will be guided to expand their personal capacities safely and joyfully — physically, mentally, and spiritually — while dissolving the boundaries between formal training and real-life situations. Of course, the instructor will also share the one and only exercise that he and Dimitris practice together every day before rehearsals.

導師簡介 Suka Bio :
Šuka Horn 生於德國，自幼在都市節奏與街舞文化中成長。十二歲初識Breakdance，身體自此成為他對世界探索的起點。隨著對舞蹈語言的渴望日益加深，他走進荷蘭鹿特丹 Codarts 藝術大學，接受現代舞系統訓練，並於該校畢業。
2020 年，他遷居雅典，參與希臘編舞大師 Dimitris Papaioannou 的作品《Transverse Orientation》。這段深刻的創作旅程，最終催生了雙人舞作《INK》，由他與 Papaioannou 共同演出 —— 一場身體與意識、親密與力量之間的深層對話。
歷經五年隨團於世界各地巡演，Šuka 決定將視線轉向內在，專注投入於個人創作與教學實踐。他的工作坊橫跨二十多個國家，於大學、舞團、藝術節及實驗空間中開展，將技巧、感知與即興的智慧帶給來自不同文化與身體背景的參與者。
Šuka 的身體語言揉合了街舞的根基、當代舞的開放性與雜技的冒險精神；他的教學則是一場邀請 —— 引導人們走進未知，與重力共舞，發現身體所蘊藏的自由與詩意。

Born and raised in Germany, Suka Horn started training breakdance at the age of 12. This passion and the exploration of other styles led him to study at and graduate from Codarts University of the Arts in Rotterdam. In 2020 he moved to Athens to be part of Dimitris Papaioannou’s creation “Transverse Orientation”. This experience led to another creation “INK”, a duet with Papaioannou himself. After a five-year world tour with Papaioannou's productions and his own workshops, Šuka decided to focus exclusively on developing his research and teaching. His workshops have been taught in universities, dance companies, festivals, and studios across more than 20 countries.
