S.I.G.I.L. online with Amy Sigil
6 day online intensive: 2, 3, 10, 11, 17 & 18 April 2021
4pm - 8pm GMT or 8am - 12pm PT
S.I.G.I.L. is the newest dance course written by dancer, choreographer, creator of ITS, and director of UNMATA, Amy Sigil. And now we are able to bring this intensive ONLINE for you all.
This program is all about sharing vocabulary and concepts in movement. You will be highly encouraged to dance, practice, teach or share this information directly after your first exposure to the program. There is no test! You will receive a certificate stating that you have been exposed and inspired by specific movements and ideas. This program is great for instructors teaching weekly classes who are constantly looking for new material, as well as movers seeking new inspiration for their personal practice.
This experience is organized into 5 sections. STAPLES, INSPIRATION, GENERATE, I (TEAMWORK), and LOVE. STAPLES includes movement sequences specific to the Sigil style. Massive amounts of vocabulary to add to your library of combinations, drills, isolations and overlays. INSPIRATION is full of...inspiration! Spirit changing exercises, games with gusto and everything that brings us to generate physical dreams. GENERATE is how to make dances quickly and efficiently using group movement sourcing, tricks for editing and skills for setting yourself aside to better the group work. . I ... is for IMPROVISATION! We will be using my improvisational staging format to source and create. LOVE is why we do it! We will tackle such topics as fear, receptiveness and dedication.
Amy Sigil is an international instructor in dance and team building, director of UNMATA, owner of Hot Pot Studios and the creator of Improvisational Tribal Style (ITS).
