Morning class 11am – 2pm: Improvisation

Mr Paasonen’s improvisational techniques are based on studying laws of  
physics and neurology, using gravity, momentum, energy effi ciency,  
residual vs essential, peripheral vs central movement concepts and  
other coordinational rules to regulate where impulses of movement are  
derived from and where they can lead. Incorporating imagination,  
memory and cognitive tools his techniques are used as means to expand  
the possibility of any preconceived technique. In this intensive,  
students will experiment with Mr. Paasonen’s task-based improvisation  
and his approach to cultivating original material.


Afternoon class 3-6 pm: Amplify



Explore various possibilities within the concepts, techniques and ways  
live video,choreography and dance can be seamlessly integrated into  
one another and feed each other creatively. Learn how to shape "the  
now" by composing the analogue and digital eye, layering information  
using one camera and one projector as choreographic objects to  
instigate new movement approaches.



Tomi Paasonen has created numerous productions and concepts involving  
the relationship between dance and live video installations. Related

TOMI PAASONEN:

Tomi Paasonen is a Berlin-based director, choreographer, video artist  
and photographer, born in Helsinki, Finland.  He founded KUNST-STOFF,  
an inter-disciplinary physical theatre and arts-event production  
company in San Francisco, before moving to Berlin launching PAA  
(Public Artistic Affairs) expanding his dance-, opera-, film and photo  
works to involve documentary layers. Numerous Berlin-based productions  
stage productions have concentrated on theme-specific improvisation  
methods and the relationship of live video installations and the  
performer. His theatrical installations often break the spacial  
separation of audience and stage and currently his work is  
increasingly dealing with interactive structures, giving the spectator  
more power to intervene and shape the event.
