DANCE WORKSHOP and CHOREOGRAPHIC LABORATORY
led by SERGE RICCI (FR)

5th – 7th October 2009

Where: HAMU, Malostranské nám. 12-13, Prague 1

Serge Ricci is a guest in Prague for the fifth time, to lead a Master Class at HAMU, open to dance professionals and students of dance. The programme features technique mainly originating in the Feldenkrais method, and choreographic workshops will follow. Serge Ricci will continue with his usual approach at this year' s workshop, but this time he will incorporate new exploration of sound connected to the human body and the physical state of the dancer. The lessons will consist of dance training and creative laboratories.

Dance workshop - Serge Ricci (FR)

Serge Ricci (FR)

gained an education in classical ballet at the Rosella Hightower Centre in Cannes. As a performer, he cooperated with a wide range of companies, and became educated in a variety of dance techniques (eg. Alexander, Body Mind Centering), but it was Feldenkrais technique which became the most important focus of interest for him. He introduced himself as a choreographer with the duet, Les jardins obscurs, as part of the programme of the Hivernales d'Avignon 94 festival, and in the same year, he founded his company, Mi-Octobre. For Mi-Octobre, he has created the following productions: Educere (1994), Retour à ses tours (1996); Phalène, phalène (1996); (1997); Champs clos Ilinx (1998); the trilogy Partiellement Effacé (2000) – Humor (2001) – Endless (2003). In Ricci' s work, focus moulds form, and priority is given to corporal discourse, which moulds the space.
