Vabljeni na štiridnevni poletni intenziv pod vodstvom plesalke in koreografinje Urška Centa, namenjen razvoju tehničnega znanja, ritmične inteligence in koreografske domišljije v flamenku.
👁️🗨️ Vsak dan od torka do petka v dveh delih:
𝗱𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗻𝗲 (𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟬 – 𝟭𝟭:𝟯𝟬): 𝘁𝗲𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗸𝗮 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗸𝗮
𝗽𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗻𝗲 (𝟭𝟳:𝟯𝟬 – 𝟭𝟵:𝟯𝟬): 𝗸𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗷𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀𝘁𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗷𝗮𝗹𝗻𝗼 𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗲
➕
𝗰̌𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗸, 𝟮𝟴. 𝗮𝘃𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 (𝟭𝟵:𝟯𝟬 - 𝟮𝟭:𝟬𝟬): 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗼𝘃 (ploskanja)
Delavnice so zasnovane za univerzalni nivo in primerne za plesalce z vsaj osnovnim predznanjem flamenka, ki si želijo izpopolnjevanja in nadgradnje znanja na področju sodobnega flamenka. Zaradi prilagojenega modela učenja k udeležbi vabimo tudi aktivne plesne profesionalce in polprofesionalce drugih zvrsti, ki želijo poglobiti svoje delo z ritmom, telesnimi zvočnimi impulzi in gibanjem v kontekstu flamenka, poiskati dodatno plesno izobraževanje kot izpopolnitev in nadgradnjo znanja sorodnih umetniških smeri ter vzdrževati poklicno kondicijo.
➡️ 𝗗𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗸𝗶 𝗸𝗹𝗮𝘀: 𝗧𝗲𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗸𝗮
Dopoldanski klas je namenjen pripravi telesa in nadgradnji osnovnih principov tehnike flamenka. Delo bo potekalo skozi razširjen sitem: principe somatskih vaj, cikle dihanja, vaj za prizemljitev, načel ovijanja trupa okrog osi hrbtenice, natančno artikulacijo stopal (zapateado), koordinacijo rok in trupa, kontrolo dinamike, prehode med težišči in usklajevanje gibanja s pulzom. Raziskovali bomo načine, kako graditi moč in energetsko prisotnost brez nepotrebnih presežkov mišične napetosti.
➡️ 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗸𝗶 𝗸𝗹𝗮𝘀: 𝗞𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗷𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀𝘁𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗷𝗮𝗹𝗻𝗼 𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗲
Popoldanski klas bo potekal v dveh vsebinsko povezanih delih: v prvem bomo s pomočjo somatskih vaj in tehničnih principov flamenka ter sodobnega plesa telesu omogočili, da postane odzivno, ritmično natančno in ustvarjalno budno. Nadaljevali bomo z raziskovanjem koreografskih fraz, ki združujejo klasične in sodobne pristope k flamenku. Drugi del bo tako vključeval poglobljeno delo skozi učenje avtorsko zasnovanega koreografskega sestavka v 6-dobnem compásu buleríe s poudarkom na interpretaciji materiala in razumevanju forme. V nadaljevanju se bomo lotili kreativnega komponiranja in razvijanju lastnega gibalnega materiala, z uporabo orodij za kompozicijo: delo s kontrasti, repeticijami, tišino, prostorsko orientacijo in gradnjo geste. Cilj je spodbuditi umetniško avtonomijo vsakega posameznika ter razširiti zavedanje telesa kot izrazno-ritmičnega instrumenta. Del materiala bomo vsak dan nadgrajevali, raziskovali različne možnosti za osebno interpretacijo in delo v skupini. Ključen del procesa bo posvečen muzikalnosti giba in telesni artikulaciji v dialogu z ritmom.

Intensive flamenco workshops with Urška Centa
Join a four-day summer intensive led by dancer and choreographer Urška Centa, dedicated to enhancing technical precision, rhythmic intelligence, and choreographic imagination within the framework of flamenco.
👁️🗨️ Each day from Tuesday to Friday is structured in two sessions:
𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟬 – 𝟭𝟭:𝟯𝟬): 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲
𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻 (𝟭𝟳:𝟯𝟬 – 𝟭𝟵:𝟯𝟬): 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 & 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
➕
𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟴 (𝟭𝟵:𝟯𝟬 – 𝟮𝟭:𝟬𝟬): 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 (clapping)
The workshops are open-level and best suited for dancers with at least a basic foundation in flamenco who seek to refine and expand their knowledge in the field of contemporary flamenco. The program is also designed to welcome professional and semi-professional dancers from other styles who are interested in deepening their rhythmic awareness, working with body-generated sound, and developing movement within a flamenco context. It offers a space for artistic growth, interdisciplinary training, and maintaining professional physical condition.
➡️ 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀: 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲
The morning session focuses on body preparation and the development of fundamental flamenco technique through an extended methodology that includes: somatic exercises, breath cycles, grounding practices, principles of torso spiraling around the spinal axis, detailed articulation of footwork (zapateado), coordination of arms and torso, dynamic control, shifting centers of gravity, and syncing movement with pulse. We will explore how to cultivate power and energetic presence without unnecessary muscular tension.
➡️ 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀: 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 & 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Structured in two interrelated parts, the afternoon session begins with somatic and technical exercises drawn from both flamenco and contemporary dance, aimed at activating the body’s responsiveness, rhythmic accuracy, and creative alertness. This will transition into work with choreographic phrases that combine traditional and contemporary flamenco approaches. The second part will focus on learning an original choreographic sequence in 6-count bulería compás, emphasizing material interpretation and formal understanding. From there, we will move into creative composition using tools such as contrast, repetition, silence, spatial awareness, and gesture development. The aim is to support each participant’s artistic autonomy and expand awareness of the body as a rhythmic and expressive instrument. The material will evolve daily, offering opportunities for personal interpretation and group interaction. A core part of the process will explore musicality in movement and the articulation of the body in dialogue with rhythm.
