Pilion Summer Academy 2008 offers you a wonderfully relaxing holiday, far away from mass tourism, in one of the most stunning and unspoiled areas of Greece. At the foot of Mount Pilion, the mythical summer home of the gods, an exciting, cultural program for all levels will be conducted by internationally successful tutors. The open air workshops and accommodation will be in the beautiful Leda Club which is located directly on the beach, next to the charming secluded village of Horton. Dance and Body Harmony combine with the tranquillity and beauty of your surroundings to create a unique and unforgettable experience.
THE PROGRAM
Our multilingual tutors are highly competent professionals who have many years of experience.They approach their classes with great enthusiasm and are totally committed to their students. Each class member, from beginner to advanced, will receive individual attention in a relaxed atmosphere. We particularly want to encourage beginners to involve themselves fully in all aspects of Dance and Body Harmony.
The Dance & Body Harmony program includes Tango and Greek Dance, Contact Improvisation, African & Butoh Dance and Body Harmony with elements of Qigong and Yoga as well as an interesting combination of Contact Improvisation with Tango. You will improve your technique, learn new dance forms and expand your repertoire in a fun, relaxing atmosphere, thus enhancing your sense of well-being.
The Creative part of our program is a Workshop which will focus on the translation of reality and perception into drawing. When we look at something, are we really seeing it? Do we understand all the details of it, or do we merely form an impression? Different techniques and structures will be demonstrated and discussed as we explore our way towards creating a coherent picture. The exquisite beauty and clarity of the light in Greece has drawn artists to this country for centuries, and our Workshop includes the use of watercolours and pastels as we study methods of capturing this light in our own work.
The social program includes Greek and Moroccan evenings, a Milonga Party, as well as lectures and discussion groups with guest tutors. A dance performance and exhibition conducted by the course participants will form the highlight of our final event.
