Ultima Vez Vocabulary
where are the limits?

During this workshop we will study different materials from several shows (“what the body does not remember”, “in spite of wishing and wanting”, “inasmuch as life is borrowed”, “Blush”, “sonic boom”, “puur” and “Spiegel”) in order to understand the most important aspects of this works, where the floor work and partnering work are the bases. As well we will speak about the ideas, concepts or sources that lie behind the movements and which are the starting point of some scenes or creations.
We will get familiarised with concepts like: risk, trust, moving with necessity, instinct, self-protection, how to protect somebody else, speed, fragility, softness, weakness, tension… these tasks will allow us to discover how we are, how we dance, where the limits are and how we can go further. We will find answers to these questions and new questions may arrouse. Bring shoes, knee protections and enjoy!




Partnering
physicality of dance, drama and emotional motivation of theatre


This workshop will focus on partner work by exploring different relationships between couples as power, dependency, indifference, protection,... combining the physicality of dance with drama and emotional motivation of theatre.
Participants will explore some elements of ULTIMA VEZ but will be invited to play with their own material within this defined context.
