Class Descriptions:
The Nadine Bommer Method is an energy-based technique offering dancers a step-by-step process to create a uniquely personal movement language. In addition to the personal movement language, the technique can be applied to classical forms and character work to improve the dancers performative range.
Kinetica
The first aspect of the Nadine Bommer Method, Kinetica, is inspired by the sea, and uses kinetic energy and internal listening to uncover the expressive capabilities of the body. The process pairs the freedom of postmodernism and rigor of ballet for full control of fluid, malleable and expansive movement. Class begins with a continuously moving, improvisational warm-up, and moves on to exercises designed to let go of self-judgment and physical expectations in order to unlock each individuals creative potential.
Animato
Using the physical liquidity developed in Kinetica, Animato, the second aspect of the Nadine Bommer Method, engages the body in character work. This allows each artist to develop a new, but equally expressive, physicality based in the personal belief of their full transformation to a new being. Class begins with improvisational work developing a specific character from company repertory. Once the character has been integrated into the dancers physicality, they will learn movement sections from the repertory, working within their characters specific story.
Nevet
Approaching classical technique with the Nadine Bommer Method, Nevet brings an inward attention to the structure of ballet. Dancers will use energetic listening and imagery to find deeper range of motion inherent in their own bodies during barre exercises. Rather than focusing on the external shapes constructed by the body, the technique allows dancers to work with the internal feeling used to create these shapes. Using kinetic energy, dancers will then find classical forms in a manner suited to their own body while still maintaining the proper visual form.
