CONTEMPORARY TECHNIQUE
The class will consist of a technical approach to movement and some of its main physical mechanisms. We will study and practice some basic tools and principles, which will allow us to find precision, organicity and the right intention while dancing, as well as to explore different qualities of movement and physical states. The stimulation of the center of the body will be the main strategy, among others, to reach the energy sources from where we move. We will consider movement as a theatrical act rather than a technique.
TOOLS FOR PARTNERING
The workshop will focus on the study of basic concepts, concrete tools and movement dynamics, which are the basis of one of the possible approaches to partnering. We will practice and incorporate them through technical exercises, improvisations with a clear framework, creating our own material and learning from given material.
As we work, we are constantly creating and developing a relationship with our partner, which requires sincere and honest listening. We must be aware of the impact of our choices on the other body and their ethical dimensions. Movement is considered an extension of a physical sensation that we feel and want to generate in the other. By working with another body, we also discover new layers of our own.
