Kristián "Mr. Kriss" Mensa
Floor Improvisation
Biography:
Kristián Mensa, also known as Mr. Kriss, is a dancer and visual artist based in Prague, Czech Republic.He has been passionately exploring the possibilities of his body for more than 15 years, starting with breaking alongside his crew Opatow Flavours and later expanding individually into experimental dance and movement abstraction. Over the years, he has collaborated with unique artists such as Kylie Minogue, Yoann Bourgeois, Hania Rani, Akram Khan and Armand Amar.
He has been featured in prestigious lists, including '20 under 20' by The HuffPost and '30 under 30' by Forbes. In recognition of his youthful determination and inspiration, Kristián Mensa was honored with a Silver Medal from the President of the Czech Senate.
Class Description:
Using his background in breaking and acrobatics, Mr. Kriss will share his keys to unlocking the body as well as the mind. You will learn how to fall with grace and how to enjoy being on the floor with all your body. You will revisit the power of improvisation and let go of being prepared, welcoming the beauty of risk. All this will happen in a safe atmosphere where we will connect to ourselves, the space around us, and, most importantly, the group as one being.
