Marta Navaridas
Performing Presence (free? strict? freak?)

As a choreographer and performer, Marta started out with practices which require a high degree of discipline, and later introduced other practices which cultivate a pretty radical sense of freedom. Now she combines discipline and freedom in order to spark creativity. In this workshop for stage performers, she invites experimentation with different modes of attention, awareness, and de-/concentration. A variety of tasks provide participants with a framework to explore these different states of being on stage.

How do sensations and thoughts affect presence? How can a moment be made unique for both the performers and the audience? How can a performer sway between strict, free, and freak?
