LAU LUKKARILA

Dance for 100 Ways to Stumble

©

Moritz Franz Zangl

In this contemporary dance and improvisation class, Lau Lukkarila invites participants into practices that support awkwardness and cultivate playfulness. Drawing from their own movement practice, they offer unruly variations of simple modern, postmodern, and contemporary techniques in solo and partner work. These approaches are explored through solo stumbles, partner exercises, and group improvisations.
Each session begins with a talk, followed by a physical warm-up with deep breathing, spinal mobilization, strengthening, and shaking. Movement exercises include improvisation scores, floor work, and choreographic sequences that engage with tension and release, stumbling, falling, and gathering, musicality, theatricality, and different approaches to touch. The classes close with a moment to land back into one’s own body.
This class is open to people of all ages and abilities who are curious about exploring their movement and expression. The invitation is directed especially toward queer, non-binary, and trans people, as well as anyone who may often feel hesitant to enter contemporary dance spaces.
