JC MOVEMENT CONTEMPORARY DANCE
CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS
- What moves us makes us the mover we are -
Having a deep appreciation and passion for the craft of retransmission, the graduate dance teacher (Diplôme d’Etat de professeur de danse) Jill Crovisier has been active for the past 12 years offering high quality dance education and dance therapy workshops/ projects around the globe. She has taught dance in conservatories, primary/high schools, festivals, professional dance programs and more. From young children starting age 4 in dance initiation or in dance therapy with people being in distress to professional company dancers, she has the experience to adapt her format of approaching dance to the participants.
She has directed the dance therapy choreographic creations STEPS AND BEATS (2015) and DANCING COLORS (2017) in collaboration with institutions such as Fondation EME / Philharmonie (LU), Rocklab / Rockhal (LU), Fondation Kannerschlass (LU). During 2023/24 Jill collaborates with the Fondation EME / Philharmonie, the Grand Theater of Luxembourg and the prison of Luxembourg during her THE GAME research.
OPEN LEVEL FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
For the classes/workshops designed for non-professional dancers, beginners and children, Jill offers a dance workshop that allows the participant to first of all get a general approach into dance. It’s a journey of discovery and the connection through a new language of the body and the mind. During the workshop the participant will warm up his body, his self-awareness in space, his connection to music and learn to surpass himself. The class is based on improvisation, the use of different dance techniques and structured exercises.
Working on the JC movement, a personalized choreography signature, the workshop allows the dancer to discover some knowledge of it while keeping the importance of individuality. The dancers might learn a short phrase of a JC movement repertoire work depending on the development and personal need of the participants during the workshop. Jill is convinced that dance should be accessible to everyone and therefore she will be able to adapt her propositions to the level of the participants. It’s not about technique neither about level, it’s about the freedom of expression and the purity of movement.
