Contemporary dance for the public with Misha Rais a Janka Novorytová

Experience contemporary dance in all its diversity. You can come once, several times, or regularly. The only requirement is a desire to discover.

Every Tuesday evening, the Galaxie cultural station opens a space where the body becomes a means of exploration, sharing and the joy of movement. Here you will meet various personalities of the Czech dance scene and their different approaches. Each lesson offers a different perspective on contemporary dance - from working with breath and rhythm to improvisation and contact to the perception of the body in space. Thanks to this variety, you will have the opportunity to try different perspectives and paths of movement and find your own. Dance here is not about performance, but about an experience that at the end of the day connects you with yourself and the world around you.

Mish Rais and Jana Novorytová from the group Částečné znejistění (Partial Uncertainty) have been collaborating since 2014. Together, they have created four original performances focused on participation, language, and immediate composition, and have dozens of performances under their belt—from apartment events to site-specific projects. They have long been exploring ways to develop body awareness, presence, and creative movement. They also perform in works by Czech and foreign artists, and as co-directors of the CreWcollective group, they are involved in pedagogical and artistic research in the field of performing arts.
