Masterskaya founded by Maya Selezneva in 2018 is a creative space for practice/training/performance/screen work as their crosspoint as an alternative educational and collaborative path to grow an develop in dance field for movers, dancers and performers of different age, experience, background and physical curiousity.
The project is aiming to attract the dancers, choreographers, teachers, lectors, film makers, musicians, other artists of local stage in order to create crosspoints for exchange and collaborative projects, as an environment and base for all programs of Masterskaya.
The project intends interacts with strong local theaters as Alexandrinsky, Escabo contemporary dance stage, Modern Dance Center and Rezidentsia , where Masterskaya’ last workes were represented.
We like to think about the project today as a floating island, it means that it doesn't below to a city, it unites people and creates opportunity, knowledge and practice pool where we go.
Improvisation and its approaches in the studio, shot and stage: “STRELA”, “Impro weekends”, “SENSOR”, “Improplay”.
Intensive approaches for training and creation based on regular multiple training (research matrix, performance and stage practice, video dance experiments and individual/group mentoring trajectory): “Первый”, ITZA dance company.
Diving to listen-watch-talk club: “Moving friday theater”, “Moving camera cycle/ video dance focus”, Cycle lectures “about faces and places in contemporary dance”, “Street dance immersion”, “Rhythm club / how to listen”.
On-line courses for training together, when you are far: “Fantastic7”.
non-stop process of creating works on stage, in the frame, location and any possible creative and artistic dimensions
a chance in this process to meet with a personalized approach to developing their creative and dance personality
contemporary dance technique, improvisation, partnering and composition
the opportunity to find ITZA permanently in the flow of creativity and one creative team
The first pilot chapter of the program, dedicated to the creation of a film-dance work, where movement in the frame will become the main tool of creation. We plan to reach a new height of sensuality of composition, language, choreography and the fact that we can tell a story with their help.
the course will allow everyone to play with speed, energy, momentum, imagination and musicianship in improvisation classes after.
work with levels without loss of efficiency, use different approaches to technique, focusing on the main principles of helicity, work with the center, weight, as well as with internal and external forces, axes in connection with the quality of movement and its diversity
in the classes we will touch on the state of “to be together, to be one” and try to exist absolutely solo in connection with space, time and partner.
Technique and improvisation in one word. And in one course. What could be better?
work with multitasking, interaction with a partner, space, time, energy, quality of movement, your personality
honesty of your spontaneous movement in the moment, depth and frequency of sensation
the moment of performance in the studio
the principle of hearing and listening
