The participants get to know a mix of modern and jazz dance in Othello’s class. Othello, having, among other things, studied at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance, uses principles of the powerful Graham technique, which is fundamentally a shift in contraction and relaxation, combining it with modern elements. Following a preparatory technical training, Othello will work out a choreography with his participants. His creed: “It is not important whether you’re perfect or not! Let us take things as they come and develop them together.” Mindfulness towards the body is close to his heart, as is the expression of one’s own emotions. To him, dance is the best practice for a good handling of the self and others.
