Contemporary Dance Workshop With Zeina Hanna

This contemporary dance workshop will focus on developing awareness in the way we articulate our bodies. We will explore three volumes: the hips, the rib cage and the head. The aim is to understand, feel and sense how these body parts come together and connect; to release unnecessary tensions and find ease in movement.

The first part will consist in stretching, placement and posture exercises based on my experience in contemporary dance and different types of body work such as Klein technique1, Alexander Technique2 and Body-Mind Centering3.

The second part of the workshop will be dedicated to approaching dance by identifying different body systems and working with specific improvisational tools to challenge/undo habitual movement patterns.

The second week end will be a buildup on the first and will focus on ways to observe and perform dancing.

Limited to 12 people. You can participate to one or two weekends. Once you commit, it is preferable to take a full weekend.

*These workshops are addressed to dancers and movers regardless of the style they practice.

Fees: 50$ / Or daily Lebanese pound rate for the whole sessions. 30$ for 2 sessions.

The Body in Infinite Motion Dance Workshop

In August 2022, Beirut Physical Lab held a dance workshop in movement and contemporary dance, with the Swiss dancer and choreographer, Mirjam Barakar. More than 40 people who are interested in the body movement and contemporary dance, participated the workshop.

The program concentrated on improving the fundamentals acquired from Middle Eastern dance and reinforcing the methods and fundamentals of dancers, before translating them into a contemporary dynamic language.

The workshop had been organized by Beirut Physical Lab and hosted at “Amalgam” studio in Beirut, and “Beit Sarmada” in El- Chouf.

We would like to thank the “Swiss Embassy in Lebanon and Syria” for supporting “Mirjam Barakar” visit to Lebanon.

Dance Workshop with Diane Fardoun

Beirut Physical Lab is hosting an Intermediate Dance Workshop by Diane Fardoun. In this workshop, Diane will explore the special character of each dancer in similar movements, and dive deep into the unique interpretations.

Diane stated regarding this workshop: “I am very focused on the natural character of the dancer.  It’s very precious how our life story inspires and impacts the body in movement, and its physical expression”. Diane also asks: “How can the same choreography be expressed differently? By adding interpretation and special touches”.

About Diane:

Diane is a French contemporary and aerial dancer, trained in Paris and performed for multiple choreographers in France. 7 years ago, she majored in Screenskin production and made her first documentary named “The Call of Dance in Sénégal”, which has been screened in festivals and events in Europe, Africa and America.
