This class is taught by Çiğdem Polat
Çiğdem Polat - dancer, physical performer, theater maker and intuitive movement coach - graduated from the Amsterdam University of Arts Academy of Theater and Dance in Urban Contemporary Dance. She was seen in productions, such as Belgian Rules/Belgium Rules by Jan Fabre, SYZYGY by Jakop Ahlbom and Quake van Casper Vandeputte; a collaboration between Stichting DOX and Theater Utrecht. She touches on taboo breaking themes related to mental health and cultural conflicts. Her movement language is inspired by sign language, the animalistic, subconscious, authentic body.
Çiğdems class starts with a guided improvisation to warm-up and tune into your body, later developing towards the characteristics of Çiğdem's movement language. She will end the class with a phrase. This class focuses on expressing what makes you unique as a dancer and learning to trust your body. She uses tools such as Body & Mind awareness, Rhythm, Storytelling with the body and Authentic self expression.
If any answers aren't applicable (in case of, for example, being an independent dancer and not being affiliated with any school), just answer N/A (which means: non applicable). We DO need your contact information.
Note: parents/caretakers and teachers may not watch the class.
