Partnering
Participating & communicating in physical dialogues
Sharing and communication are very essential aspects in our daily life. Dance expresses those issues through partner work and other collective activities.
Physical dialogues propose different exercises to enhance instinct, opening and awareness. By duo and group exercises we will deal with terms such as Trust, Weight, Sharing timings, Leaders and Followers.
During the workshop we will learn given phrases as well as experiment matters for research.
Contemporary Technique
energy & imaginary
This workshop is directed to people interested in dance as an art of expression.
The class will turn around one or two themes per day including warm up, floorwork and dance evolutions in the space. From high voltage to lazy-looking forms where energy and imaginary are the rulers of the rhythm. The participants are encouraged to appropriate the given material and to "stage“ it in the shortest delay of time.
