Maciej about his Dynamic Phrasing class: “In Dynamic Phrasing we engage in dialogue with our own body by nourishing the diversity inherent to our nature and harnessing the power of gravity. This dialogue is strengthened through rigorous and multidimensional practice and a deep passion to experience movement. Dynamic Phrasing is a journey that leads us to the frontiers and limits of our bodies capacity for movement to reveal the roots and core of our being.”
Dynamic Phrasing was initiated nearly 15 years ago by Maciej Kuźmiński, and has been regularly taught in Codarts and ArtEZ among others. The classes at Conny Jansen Danst are the first open classes of the method in the Netherlands, during which two pillars of Dynamic Phrasing will be introduced – first a warm-up of DP I – the Loop, followed by DP III – phrases & repertoire.
