TEACHING

Contemporary dance workshops and classes, collectively or individually taught by Tina Benko and Ema Križič, are looking closely at the structures of the body, trying to understand their design and finding out, how can we by respecting movement principles that follow that design, achieve greater efficiency in movement and train virtuosity that is kind to our system.

We are exploring the lived anatomy of the human body through movement as we take time to sense finely, engage in guided movement explorations, practice specific movement patterns and sequences and dance fully, both on the floor and in verticality. We are working with focused attention as well as letting go, enjoying the speed, dynamism and group energy in dancing.

Teaching of Wild Birds in different formats is aimed at beginners as well as at more experienced movers and professional dancers, different age groups from young adults to older generations. Classes and workshops are designed for everybody who wants to dance, is interested in physical approach to dance, in deepening the awareness of the body and connection with it, in expanding and reconfiguring one’s own movement practice and in developing autonomy in dancing. 

​

The aim of our work is transformation through comfort, through movement practice that feels and good and works well. We focus on the ability of the body to adapt to changes in the physical environment, to challenges outside and inside. Our practice works towards establishing routines, dedication to honing small habits, regularly returning to the body itself - every day new and different, continuously listening to the states inside and outside and to the relation(ship)s towards the body, movement and the world.
