We would like to invite you to the workshop Move the City, which will take place in early September and is intended for dancers, architects, and all those interested in exploring the post-war urban development of the city of Brno and in dance interactions directly in the urban space.

September 3–9, 2012, 4AM Forum for Architecture and Media, Starobrněnská 18, Brno

:: workshop
During the workshop, daily contact improvisation training will be held under the guidance of choreographer Vangelis Legakis and excursions into the urban space with architect Jaroslav Sedlák. Their goal will be to explore unusual places within the urban structure of contemporary Brno, which will become the venue for small dance interventions and a concluding performance.

// Vangelis Legakis (GR/GB) – contact improvisation
Vangelis Legakis studied dance theatre and choreography at the Laban Centre in London. Since 2004, he has been regularly visiting The Forsythe Company with which he performed in 2006 'Human Writes' in Frankfurt. He has also danced pieces by Lea Anderson and Scott Smith, as well as performing in his own choreographies. He has formed The Van - L Dance Company, with which he has been touring his productions in Europe. Vangelis is strongly influenced by Rudolf Laban, William Forsythe, Skinner Releasing Technique, diverse martial arts techniques, philosophy (phenomenology), and neuroscience, through which he has originated new ways to approach dance practice and choreography.
