HumanhoodPractice & Repertoire Workshop in London

Posted on January 30, 2019

Experience Humanhood's movement practice and fluid quality while diving into the company's new production repertoire. 

HumanhoodPractice is the core foundation of the company's physical & mental practice and its movement quality developed by co-artistic directors Rudi Cole and Julia Robert. Inspired by the past decade of their experience, both in the Western training and the Eastern physical and spiritual approaches, including Tai-chi, Qi-gong, Moving Breath and Yoga, the sessions bring special awareness to the articulation of the spine while focusing on the state of mind and the groundless of the body. 

The movements are circular, fluid and rhythmic, working with intention and totality and using the coordination between visualisation and breath. The practice pushes the limits of the mind and the stamina of the body. The whole experience is guided by Rudi and Julia, and supported through a live sonic journey by electronic duo EIF (https://soundcloud.com/earthis...).

To follow, you will be learning the company new repertoire of Torus, dancing to the music of the piece and embodying the movement quality and intention that drives the action. Rudi and Julia will be giving personal feedback on the movement application and detail of the choreography.

This Intensive is open to professional dancers, graduates and vocational students who have an interest in the company's movement language and choreographic style. 

'I could dance Humanhood's movement forever, it brought me to another dimension and I could reconnect with the reason why I started dancing'  - Barcelona Workshop Participant.

Torus at Festival Grec Barcelona

In its premiere year Torus as been performed at Barcelona's iconic arts event: Festival Grec. Here an insight of what brought Torus to the stage at Mercat de les Flors and what meant for co-Artistic Directors Júlia and Rudi.

Cesc Casadesús, Director of Grec Festival, shares what brought him to program Torus at Mercat de les Flors for the festival’s 2019 edition: “What attracted us was the high quality technique of the work, with an identity and personality very concretes. It is a piece that reflects a unique personality.” (Press Release Grec 2019)

We asked Júlia Robert and Rudi Cole what meant for them to present their latest work Torus at Grec Festival de Barcelona in July 2019: ‘We are honoured by the trust Cesc Casadesús, the director of Festival Grec, had on us and our work. From visiting us in the rehearsal studio at La Caldera in Barcelona to programming Torus at main stage Mercat de les Flors there was a definitely a risky decision involved! But we can only be thankful and grateful for his brave commitment and genuine passion to keep shining light in the dance world and make the vision we had for Torus in Barcelona a reality!’

Here some 5 star reviews from the performances!
