Sharon Vazanna's work extends beyond the stage through Workshops, Master Classes, Residencies and Commissions by bringing her creative process and her Dance Pedagogy to schools and dance companies in Israel and abroad.

​

Teaching Concept 

​

After a long and rewarding dance career in Europe and in Israel, Sharon is engaged for the last twelve years in choreography and in teaching.

 

"As a creative artist I wish to work with dancers who have diverse creative and personal qualities side by side with advanced physical capabilities and technical proficiency. In my work with young artists, I strive to develop in them these very qualities. As teacher of contemporary dance I believe that my task is to develop in my students not only their physical and expressive capabilities but also their personalities, and to equip them with a variety of tools which will form them as dancers and enable them to engage in a professional career with independent choreographers, in professional dance companies, or in any other direction they wish to take the assets they gained with me. The tools to be provided should be technical, physical, expressive and personality enriching".

 

The Master Class

​

The class will start with a contemporary technique class and will be followed by a study of movements from the current repertoire. In the technique class we will focus on the anatomical structure of the body, isolations and separations of body parts and the relationship between them.

 

We will examine the relationships of different body parts and movements influenced by gravity and weight, space and the dynamics of a movement and its patterns.

Attention is given to musicality, rhythmic precision and the quality of each and every movement.

 

The second part of the class is a study of sections from the current repertoire including internalising layers of the creative background of the work, its character and its emotional and psychological motives.
