Special Episode 3 - Frame Up Intensive Weekend Greece report
Listen to the full episode:
In this special report, I’m taking you to Athens, Greece, where I joined the Erotica Frame Up Intensive Weekend.
The weekend was organised by Vivian Voss , you might know her from Episode 24, and brought together three teachers: Vivian herself, experimental high heels dancer Luisa Lazri, and all the way from St. Petersburg, Julianna Kobtseva, teaching both her Forma technique and choreography.
The schedule packed in technique classes, different choreography styles, a dance improv and jam class, and finished with Stage Noir - a performance evening with a DJ set.
In this episode you’ll hear advice from Julianna on practicing on both sides and knowing your own learning pace, a candid conversation between Vivian and Julianna on what erotica really means - intelligence, nuance, presence - and what it’s like to develop a signature style as an artist.
A warm, thoughtful weekend with a lot of dancing. Glad I was there.
