Classes de maître avec Nic Gareiss - 12 octobre 2025
Les classes se dérouleront à l’intérieur de la Maison Maizerets, dans une salle dédiée à cette activité. Un minimum de 12 inscriptions est nécessaire pour que la classe ait lieu et il y aura un maximum de 25 participant.e.s par classe.
9h à 10h15 Appalachian Flatfooting (niveau intermédiaire)
Flatfooting is a solo form of improvised percussive dance originating in the Appalachian mountains of what some people call the United States, with sonic and gestural connections to West African, Indigenous, and Western European dance. Using the toe, heel, and ball of the foot to strike and slide across the floor, flatfooting articulates the rhythms of old time fiddle and banjo music. Wear smooth-soled comfortable shoes with a low or no heel for this class.
10h30 à 11h45 Percussive Dance Improvisation & Technique (niveau avancé)
Improvisation rests upon technique. Engaging a myriad of step and clog dance styles, this will focus on building technical facility with the aim of enriching each dancer's improvisational ability. Through exercises and footwork patterns from many percussive dance traditions, the class will present ways that extemporaneous step dancing can be enhanced and inspired by engagement with technique. In turn, participants will explore improvisation as a means of creating new techniques, re-imagining the physical and rhythmic possibilities of their own percussive dance practice.
