Rebirth-ples na podu

Dorotea Kovačićek

Naša sljedeća instruktorica DOROTEA KOVAČIĆEK umjetnica je koja ide plesnim putem izazova i proučavanja senzualnosti pokreta, stoga, prihvatite izazov i pođite s njom na putovanje u vremenu, na mjesto gdje se rodio ples. Iz zemlje, prema nebu!

Radionica: “REBIRTH”-Ples na podu:

Na radionici ‘Rebirth’, kao što kaže samo ime, proći ćemo kroz ‘ponovno rođenje’ pokreta. Svi pokreti bit će izvedeni na podu za što će biti potrebno steći kontrolu nad svojim tijelom i snagu, osobito što se tiče fleksibilnosti i područja leđa.

No ples na podu nije samo za one koji su izrazito fleksibilni, nego i za sve koji žele probuditi senzualnost u svojim pokretima. U ovoj ekscentričnoj vrsti trbušnog plesa sudjeluje čitavo tijelo, a svaki pomak i poza su od izričite važnosti. Osobit naglasak je na sporim, kontroliranim pokretima trbuha i mekim, ali naglašenim akcentima bokova.

JESTE LI ZNALI?

Orijentalni ples na podu u Egiptu je zakonom zabranjen i prognan čak dva puta, ali bez obzira na to, on je pronašao svoj put kroz starije egipatske tradicionalne plesove, kao i plesove stare Turske Sjeverne Afrike i Roma. U velikom ‘boom-u’ Orijentalnog plesa u Americi, ples na podu postao je zaštitnim znakom Vintage Belly Dance industrije, često kombiniran sa elementima burleske i modernim fuzijima.

Ples na podu pokazuje fleksibilnost, kontrolu i snagu plesačice. Često se pleše sa rekvizitima kao što su mačevi i pladnjevi, koji kroz balansiranje stavljaju naglasak na pokrete koji kroz mirnoću i odmjerenost pokazuju senzualnost i žestinu koju donosi ovaj ples.

Dorotea Kovačićek rođena je 1.7.1992. u Zagrebu. Ples je zavoljela u školi Orijentalnog plesa ‘Plesni studio Nefertiti’ koji njeguje različite stilove i fuzije. Kao ‘Nefertitica’ pleše već 5 godina i vodi grupe srednjeg i početnog nivoa. Osobito joj se sviđaju stilovi u kojima do izražaja dolaze suprotnosti: ženstvenost s jedne strane i snaga s druge.

Floorwork:

Description: In Egpyt, floorwork as a part of Oriental dance was banned and officially outlawed twice, before it found it’s way up through old traditional egyptian dances and also dances of Old Turkey, North-African tribes and Romani dances. In a big boom of Oriental dance in America, floorwork was a symbol of Vintage Belly Dance industry, combined with elements of burlesque and modern fusions.

Floorwork shows dancer’s flexibility, control of the movements and strenght. It is often performed with props such as swords or candelabrum, because, when balanced, they emphasize slowness and restraint of movements, and that shows us both sensuality and the force of this dance.

At the workshop ‘Rebirth’, as the name suggests, we will pass through the ‘rebirth’ of the movements. All dance movements will be carried out on the ground, for what will be necessary to gain control over your body and strength, particularly in terms of flexibility and our body’s back area.

But the floorwork isn’t only for those who are extremely flexible, floorwork is for those who want to wake up that special sensuality in movements. In this eccentric type of belly dance the whole body is involved, and each shift and pose are of explicit importance. Special emphasis is on slow and controlled movements of the abdomen and soft but pronounced accents of the hips .

Accept the challenge and come with me on a journey in time and place. There, where dance was born. From the earth to the sky!

Dorotea Kovačićek, I was born 1.7.1992 . in Zagreb, Croatia. I learned how to dance and how to love dance itselft through the school of Oriental dance “Plesni Studio Nefertiti’ which nurtures a variety of styles and fusions. I’ve been dancing as a part of Nefertiti troup for 5 years and I currently teach groups of middle and young professional level. What I especially I are Oriental styles that come to the fore contrary: femininity on the one hand and stregnth on the other .

Ples s poijem

Gorana

Na radionici ćete imati priliku naučiti osnovne pokrete s poijem i povezati ih u kratku plesnu kombinaciju, te vidjeti kako se poi može koristiti u orijentalnoj plesnoj tehnici. Min.3 polaznika.

Gorana se plesom počela baviti 2004. godine, kada se upisala na tečaj orijentalnog plesa u školi „Zuzana“. Tamo se usmjerava na ples s rekvizitima, te se na kraju opredjeljuje za poi. Ples s poijem potječe od Maora, a u doslovnom prijevodu znači lopta na uzici.… U današnje vrijeme populariziran je kroz ples s vatrom, a umjesto vatre mogu se koristiti i svjetla, velovi i zastave.
_____________________________________________________
Gorana started dancing in 2004, when signed up for oriental dance classes at dance studio Zuzana. She focused mainly on props, and finally opted for poi. Poi dancing originates from the Maori people, and literally means ball on a string. It gained popularity through the art of fire dancing, but can also be used with lights, veils and flags.
Tonight we will see a LED poi dance, Lights and shadows.
