GPS M S BIOMECHANICS

COPENHAGEN, LONDON and BERLIN CLASSES 2024/25

An emotional body memory system for dancers, actors and mime artists.

This system is suitable for any performer:

- Who creates their own material, or who is part of a group devising process. 

- Who creates movements or longer choreographic sequences based on text.

- Who creates stories based on movements from their own experience and memories. 

GPS M S Biomechanics is based on physical movements created from the performer's spine, which are sent through the body, by focusing on the body's closing and opening impulses, and are boosted with melodramatic feelings - as a physical mask - put on the face, the shoulders, the bottom, the knees and the feet.

By repeating the 60 minutes GPS M S Biomechanics sessions a minimum of 3 times, the sessions will create an emotional spine release, which will help the performer to reconnect and clean their own emotions through the session. This will help the performer to recognise their own emotions and create clean and organic movements.

The training is based on my studio from Meyerhold Biomechanics, Jack Lecoq Melodrama and Classical Mime technique and Martha Grahams Spine Release work, true a physical combination of mime, ballet, butoh, used for exploring of text. 

 The GPS M S Biomechanics has 3 faces:  

• A 60 minutes body cleaning and strengthening session with eye contact break down of 4th wall

Physical 60 minutes Body Cleaning & Strengthening Session.

In this 60 minutes movement session you will be working from standing up to laying down to standing up again. 

Tapping, shaking and boosting your body with energy. A 60 minutes journey through the melodramatic feelings - explored and connected from your spine. This system will boost and clean your movements as a performer and connect your movements as an ensemble. 

• The personal/ ensemble unique 99 movements alphabet and 

Your Personal Unique 99 Movements Alphabet.

From melodramatic feelings you will create 16 circles of movements, 9 personal movements and 6 connecting movements. These 99 movements will be your personal movements alphabet, created out of your own Movement DNA.

• The ensemble 100/100/100 devising tool from neutral mask to Russian classical  ballet

The Ensemble 100/100/100 Devising Tool.

If you work on a solo performance you will create your movements from the spine through your unique 99 movements alphabet and action movements. 

If you work as an ensemble - the 99 Movements Alphabet will connect you as an ensemble through the devising process of the ensemble's unique Movements DNA. 

Through the 100/100/100 tool system it will be possible for the ensemble to create movements combined with text and voice. Movements based on a combination of plastic/ mechanic/ emotion.
