University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MdW).
Senior Lecturer Dance & Movement at Music and Movement Education / Rhythmics since 2001.
Since 2001 I have been teaching Music and Movement at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
Dance and Movement Education is an incredibly exciting subject for me. Drawing the attention of students to something they were not aware of before enables them to sense the movement in its logical form.
Improvisation
Targeted tasks allow for exploration of movement. In the ocean of options, it is possible to make a decision with complete concentration and at just the right moment.
Improvisation is an important part of my classes.
Floor work
Following my studies of Feldenkrais (training and diploma as Feldenkrais Practitioner in Basel 1998-2001), a focus of my classes lies also in the principles of floor work.

Workshop and Concert with Philip Feeney (UK), Training class with Elisabeth Orlowsky
One of the primary attributes of improvisation is its capacity to capture an instance in time, impulsing the energy and dynamic of the moment.
Such work is often characterized by a free- owing musical stream of consciousness, which at heart is conceptually linear.
Yet improvisation can also aspire to a coherent musical logic, one that takes into account larger structural factors and more complex phrase architecture.

Workshop, 11 May 2019.
Symposium on Dalcroze Studies. University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
Émile Jaques-Dalcroze was a Swiss composer, musician and music educator who developed a specific approach to learning and experiencing music through movement.
The Dalcroze method conveys musical concepts, often through movement. The variety of motion analogues used for musical concepts develop an integrated and natural musical expression in the student.
The aim of the Symposium on Dalcroze Studies is to present current research and practice within Dalcroze Studies and related fields.
Elisabeth Orlowsky is teaching a workshop together with Jutta Goldgruber.
