Judith Sanchez Ruiz has developed two training methods- Functionality and Perspective in Dance and Your Own God- which are both used for practice within her company and as a guest teacher in Germany and abroad. She has been working as a professional educator in these techniques since 2010.
"Functionality and Perspective in Dance"
A class which investigates and trains in the release technique. Key points involve the importance of being grounded but dancers also work with initiation and arrival, visceral, and organic movement. The class builds up stamina and also creates an understanding of how weight is shifted, movement is clarified and attention to detail, precision and dynamics are achieved in a multidirectional approach."YOUR OWN GOD" Intensive improvisation Workshop
Triggering your un/comfortable zone and guiding you to look for the unknown exploration of different approaches to movement. This course focuses on practicing how to develop movement in composition with space and a relationship with others.
