Cultural press in times of Coronapodcast (13): Whether to be considerate of the downstairs neighbours at ICK Amsterdam's dance training. (Or let them join in)

'Exercising at home is very nice to do. In your own living room, you have no shame.'

Dereck Cayla is associated with ICK Amsterdam, the capital's urban dance company. Now that all performances are down and he can no longer train with the company's dancers in the studio, he offers his lessons online. For ICK Amsterdam's own professionals, but also for anyone who wants to move more as an amateur. This way, he keeps it up in these times of lockdown, and also does some good for people. He talks about it in the podcast.

ICK Amsterdam works with a specific method, developed by Emio Greco and Pieter C Scholten, the choreographer duo leading the company. It's called Double Skin/Double Mind and it has to do with an intense awareness of your body and your skin, a kind of mindfulness of which we'll also try to get some during the podcast. So listen, and then learn about the world of special dance. At home.
