Contemporary Technique- release based
Klas vključuje elemente sodobnega plesa, sprostitveno tehniko in delo na tleh ter se začne s prebujanjem telesa in uma, ki nas popelje v gibanje. Vaje in fraze gibanja se osredotočajo na poravnavo in ravnotežje, s krepitvijo in raztezanjem ter spodbujajo zaporedne prehode s posebnim poudarkom na telesnosti sklepov. Bolj dinamična zaporedja gibanja po tleh poudarjajo uporabo teže, zagona in dinamike za povečanje učinkovitosti in veselja do gibanja. Improvizacijske naloge so namenjene širjenju percepcije in zavedanja telesa v odnosu do gibanja, prostora, glasbe, nas samih in drugih plesalcev.

Marija Slavec: GAGA, level lll

Delavnica bo potekala v angleščini. / The workshop is going to be in English.

SLO: 
Gaga je gibalni jezik, ki ga je Ohad Naharin razvijal dolga leta, vzporedno s svojim delom kot koreograf in nekdanji umetniški vodja Batsheva Dance Company. Ure Gage temeljijo na globoki aktivaciji telesa in fizičnih občutkov. Navodila so uporabljena za povečanje zavedanja in dodatno krepitev občutkov, in namesto da bi eno navodilo/informacija sledilo drugemu, si informacije sledijo v plasteh in sestavljajo več čutno, fizično zahtevno izkušnjo. Medtem ko je veliko navodil prežetih z bogatimi podobami, je raziskovanje Gage v osnovi fizično in vztraja pri specifičnem procesu utelešenja. Gaga ponuja okvir za krepitev telesa ter dodajanje prožnosti, vzdržljivosti, agilnosti in spretnosti, vključno s koordinacijo in učinkovitostjo, hkrati pa spodbuja čute in domišljijo. Ura Gage za plesalce so odprte za profesionalne plesalce ali  študente plesa 16+. Ura traja od ene do ene ure in petnajst minut.

Marija Slavec je rojena v Sloveniji, kjer je svoje prvo plesno znanje nabirala pri Siniši Bukincu, Kristini De Ventus in Kjari Starič Wurst, ki so jo temeljito izoblikovali kot plesalko. Dve leti je bila del D.A.N.C.E. (Evropski interdisciplinarni strokovni program) pod umetniškim vodstvom Frédérica Flamanda, Williama Forsytheja, Wayna McGregorja in Angelina Preljocaja. Leta 2010 se je pridružila ansamblu Batsheva, kjer je plesala v predstavah Ohada Naharina in Sharon Eyal. Nato se je leta 2012 pridružila Vertigo Dance Company, kjer je bila del kreativnega procesa predstav Noe Wertheim, Sharona Fridmana in Anne Halprin. Do nedavnega je bila del Tanzmainza, kjer je dobila priložnost delati z različnimi koreografi, vključno z Royem Assafom, Guyem Naderjem in Mario Campos, Roni Haver in Guyem Weizmanom, Victorjem Quijado in Sharon Eyal.

ENG:
Gaga is the movement language developed by Ohad Naharin throughout many years, parallel to his work as a choreographer and the former artistic director of Batsheva Dance Company. Gaga classes are predicated on a deep activation of the body and physical sensations. The instructions are deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation, and rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging experience. While many instructions are imbued with rich imagery, the research of Gaga is fundamentally physical, insisting on a specific process of embodiment. Gaga provides a framework for strengthening the body and adding flexibility, stamina, agility, and skills including coordination and efficiency while stimulating the senses and the imagination. Gaga/dancers classes are open to professional dancers or advanced dance students ages 16+. Classes last between an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes.

Marija Slavec was born in Slovenia where she collected her first dance knowledge from Siniša Bukinac, Kristina De Ventus and Kjara Starič Wurst who profoundly shaped her as a dancer. For two years she was part of D.A.N.C.E. (European interdisciplinary professional program) under the artistic direction of Frédéric Flamand, William Forsythe, Wayne McGregor, and Angelin Preljocaj. In 2010 she joined the Batsheva Ensemble, where she danced in Naharin’s and Sharon Eyal’s creations. After that she joined Vertigo Dance Company in 2012 where she danced in pieces by Noa Wertheim, Sharon Fridman, and Anna Halprin. More recently she was a member of Tanzmainz where she got a chance to work with a variety of choreographers including Roy Assaf, Guy Nader and Maria Campos, Roni Haver and Guy Weizman, Victor Quijada and Sharon Eyal. She has been teaching Gaga since 2011

Claudia Sovre: BALET / BALLET; level ll

Delavnica bo potekala v angleščini in slovenščini. / The workshop is going to be in English and Slovenian.

BALET  II (14 – 16 let)
Claudia Sovre

Trening klasičnega baleta sestoji iz baletnih vaj pri drogu in na sredini. Na tej stopnji bo poudarek na ozaveščanju delovanja mišic plesalcev na odprti ''en dehors'' način, kar predstavlja osnovo pravilnega izvajanja baletnih korakov. To posledično omogoča napredovanje v baletni tehniki in hkrati zmanjšuje možnosti fizičnih poškodb ob tem. 
Vaje bodo zasnovane po metodiki Veganova ob uporabi varne prakse, s katero lahko baletni pedagog potek in težavnost treninga prilagaja prijavljenim kandidatom, njihovemu predznanju in telesnim predispozicijam.

Trening je primeren je za dekleta in fante od 14. let naprej, ki plešejo balet že nekaj let (5. in 6. razred baletne šole, 1. in 2. letnik srednje baletne šole). Izjemoma se v baletni klas lahko vključijo tudi starejši ali mlajši kandidati, s potrebnim baletnim predznanjem.

BALLET  II (age 14 – 16)
Claudia Sovre

Classical ballet training consists of ballet exercises at the barre and in the center. At this stage, the emphasis will be on the awareness of the dancers' muscles in an open "en dehors" manner, which is the basis of the correct execution of ballet steps. This, in turn, enables progress in ballet technique and at the same time reduces the chances of physical injuries.
The exercises will be designed according to the Vaganova methodology using safe practice, with which the ballet teacher can adjust the course and difficulty of the training to the registered candidates, their prior knowledge, and physical predispositions.

The training is suitable for girls and boys from the age of 14 who have been dancing ballet for several years (5th and 6th grade of ballet school, 1st and 2nd year of secondary ballet school). Exceptionally, older, or younger candidates, with the necessary prior knowledge of ballet, can also join the ballet class.

REPERTOAR ZA DEKLETA I, II, III (14 +)
Claudia Sovre

Dekleta bodo pouk repertoarja začela z vajami na konicah prstov, skozi katere bodo utrjevale mišice stopal in baletno tehniko ''na špicah'', ki sestoji iz vaj pri drogu in na sredini. Nadalje bodo spoznala določene ženske variacije iz klasičnih baletov, ki jih bodo izdelovale najprej  po delih in nato povezale v solistično celoto.

Pouk je primeren za dekleta od 14. let naprej, ki obvladajo osnove plesanja na ''špicah'', pa vse do profesionalnih baletnih plesalk. Izbor in izvedba variacij bo prilagojena prijavljenim kandidatkam ter njihovemu baletnem predznanju.

Claudia Sovre: REPERTOAR ZA DEKLETA / REPERTOIRE FOR GIRLS; level ll

Delavnica bo potekala v angleščini in slovenščini. / The workshop is going to be in English and Slovenian.

The girls will begin the repertoire lesson with exercises on points, through which they will strengthen the muscles of the feet and the ballet technique "on points", which consists of exercises at the barre and in the center. Furthermore, they will get to know certain female variations from classical ballets, which they will first make in parts and then connect them into a solo whole.

The class is suitable for girls from 14 years of age who master the basics of pointe work, up to professional ballet dancers. The selection and performance of variations will be adapted to the registered candidates and their prior ballet knowledge.

Delavnica bo potekala v angleščini. / The workshop is going to be in English.

SLO:
Delavnica Poetic body predstavlja edinstveno razumevanje telesa, ki je polno, prisotno, živo in aktivno.
Poetic body spodbuja sposobnost, da v celoti, strastno in z lahkoto izvedemo vsako želeno gibalno dejanje. Ponuja holistični pristop k plesu, v katerem se prepletata praksi spontanega in zastavljenega gibanja, kjer se tehnika sreča s strastjo in kjer je dobro počutje prioriteta. To se udejanji z vajami za uglasitev navzočnosti telesa v trenutku, prostoru, povezanosti s seboj in okoljem, ter z različnimi fizičnimi igrami, ki prebudijo telo in um. Poudarjena sta ritem in muzikalnost, pozornost pa je posvečena tudi artikulaciji različnih delov telesa, natančni izvedbi giba, delu s stopali, poskokom in vrtljajem. Delavnica nas bo vodila skozi raziskovanje kontrastnih lastnosti gibanja, kot je razpon telesne napetosti in odnosnost med čustvi in gibanjem.

KAJA LOMOVŠEK-baletna korepetitorka

Kaja Lomovšek je zaključila študij klavirja na Akademiji za glasbo Ljubljana in diplomirala iz glasbene terapije na Inštitutu Knoll v Kranju. Za korepetitorski stol je prvič sedla pred 37-imi leti, ko so jo iz baletnega oddelka takratne SGBŠ Ljubljana kot študentko povabili k sodelovanju. Interakcija med plesom in glasbo jo je tako pritegnila, da se je z vsem svojim srcem predala temu čudovitemu poklicu, v katerem je ostala vse do danes. Ker je bil pojem korepetitorja v tistem času še prava neznanka, nabor klavirske literature za balet pa zelo skromen, je baletne korake pričela spremljati z improvizacijami, skozi katere je odkrivala raznolike stile in načine igranja, ki so plesalčev gib v čim boljši meri podprli.
Skozi leta se je izoblikovala v izkušeno in odlično plesno korepetitorico – improvizatorko, ne samo klasičnega baleta, temveč tudi sodobnih plesnih tehnik.
Sodelovala je z več kot 40 domačimi in tujimi plesnimi pedagogi, med drugim Nanette Glushac (Toulouse Ballet Company), Elena Albano (Aconcoli Dance Milano), Teresse Capucilli (The Julliard School New York), Virginie Mécène (Martha Grahm School New York) in igrala profesionalnim plesnim ansamblom, med drugim plesalcem SNG Opera in balet Ljubljana, HNK Split, Cullberg Ballet Company (Švedska), Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company (Izrael), Michael Mao Dance Company (New York).
Kljub dolgoletnim izkušnjam se kot korepetitorka še vedno izpopolnjuje in udeležuje poletnih baletnih seminarjev tako doma kot v tujini.

LYUDMYLA RUBLYOVA ŠEMRL-baletna korepetitorka

Lyudmyla Rublyova Šemrl se je rodila v malem obmorskem mestu Berdynsk v Ukrajini. Svoje glasbeno izobraževanje je pričela vzporedno s poukom klasičnega baleta, kasneje pa se je odločila za glasbeno pot kot pianistka, vendar ji je baletna dvorana za vedno pustila svoj čarobni pečat.
Srednjo glasbeno šolo je končala v Zaporožju, diplomirala je na Harkovski državni akademiji za umetnost I. P. Kotlarevski pri svetovno znani profesorici Nini Kazimirovi.
V Sloveniji živi od leta 2001 in je svojo strokovno pot nadaljevala na podiplomskem študiju na Akademiji za glasbo v Ljubljani, ki jo je končala v razredu prof. Tatjaei Ognjanovič leta 2006.
Od leta 2008 je zaposlena na Konservatoriju za glasbo in balet v Ljubljani kot profesorica klavirja in baletna korepetitorka. Tako po dolgih letih v baletni dvorani ponovno združuje pianistične možnosti in izraznost plesnega giba.
Poleg rednega dela svoje znanje nadgrajuje v sodelovanju z različnimi domačimi in tujimi baletnimi pedagogi KGBL-ja, SNG Opere in balet Ljubljana ter na seminarjih združenja EPTA, katere članica je.
