WORKSHOPS > STOCKHOLM WORKSHOP

Klein Technique™ Workshop, Stockholm, Sweden
Taught by Susan Klein

Tuesday, June 7 – Saturday, June 11 and
Monday, June 13 – Friday, June 17, 2011

Time: 10:00-12:00 Daily training and 13:00-15:30 Workshop/Seminar

Information and registration: Petra Wormbs: petra.wormbs@dansalliansen.se

This course will be designed specifically for Dansalliasen and will be taught in 2 parts: the morning daily training 10:00-12:00 and an afternoon workshop 13:00-15:30. This course will focus on the body-felt understanding as well as the theoretical precepts of Klein Technique™.

Klein Technique™ is an education of the body on a profoundly deep level of understanding. We view and cultivate the body as an integral whole in order to maximize its full functional potential. Our aim is to develop dancers as unique movers, maximizing individual potential and essential self-knowledge that will lead to flourishing artistry and minimizing injury.

We will emphasize the idea of moving from our deepest structural and energetic tissue, the bone. We will explore the anatomy of the muscles of deepest structural support: the psoas, the hamstrings, the pelvic floor muscles, and the external rotators. These muscles change the relationship of the bones. They bring the pelvis on top of the legs and connect the body into the floor and upwards to the space. We will clearly explain, and physically work with these muscles in order to consciously bring the bones into alignment and, in turn, bring the body into a place of connectedness. This work leads to true power, strength, and efficiency in movement.

In Klein Technique™ we look at the body as part of the living system of life and part of a systems approach to movement. We believe that the body exists within our gravitational system of the floor and the space. We do not exist in isolation, not do we dance in isolation. We exist and dance with the ground, the space, and each other.

Susan Klein has been developing and teaching Klein Technique™ since 1972 teaching daily classes New York City at her studio The Susan Klein School of Movement and Dance. Since 1989 she has been traveling throughout the world teaching intensive workshops in Klein Technique™. Klein Technique™ is a result of a serious knee injury and developed out of Susan’s personal journey to get well. It serves as a way for people to work through their individual injuries, to understand and improve the workings of their bodies, to heal themselves and become better dancers. Her main influences in developing her work are Irmgard Bartenieff, Dr. Fritz Smith, and Professor J.R. Worsley. Susan has a private practice as a Movement Therapist, Certified Zero Balancer, Senior Zero Balancing Teacher, and Traditional 5 Element Worsley Style Acupuncturist, L.Ac., B.Ac.(UK), M.Ac.,(USA),Dipl.Ac.(NCCAOM
