Repertory Ultima Vez
movement as a “theatrical act”

The workshop is based on the repertory of “What The Body Does Not Remember”, “Les Porteuses de mauvaises nouvelles”, and “The weight of a hand”.
The participants will explore and confront Ultima Vez’ energetic vocabulary through floorwork, partner and contact work and movement as a “theatrical act” rather than as a “technique”. They will experience “trusting” and “sharing”.
