With composer, musician and teacher: Peter Lodwick

"Peter Lodwicks technique gives a control that is the basis of genuine creativity"
(Gunnar Brunvoll, former director of The Norwegian National Opera)  

Peter Lodwick has developed his technique P. R. I. D. E. as a way of combining rhythm & dynamic exercises, with creative dance and improvisation:

"I felt the need for a technique that would combine different disciplines and give dancers a tool for working with improvisation and/or choreographers. The technique is designed to give the dancer a confidence in their own creativity." (Peter Lodwick)

The technique is designed to work in two phases; the first gives the dancer the rhythmic & dynamic tools that can be used in other technique classes. The second phase is to use the same rhythm and dynamic technique in a creative frame by making short choreographic sequences.

"Through P.R.I.D.E. I have gained confidence in my own creativity. As well as last understanding the relationship between music, dynamics and movement."
(Student National College of Dance, Oslo)
