WORKSHOPS
Touching air-José Reches
The basic aim of "Touching the Air" is to prepare the dancer’s body for a broad spectrum of movement possibilities, in terms of form, dynamics or qualities. In the development of the class we will work in a specific way the perception of the weight and its intensities, both in the ground and in the vertical. We will evolve by body propulsion, falls, acrobatic elements, recoveries and suspensions, always in a search for fluidity and volumes of movement at different spatial levels. All this without forgetting the orientation and transfer of the body, with the flexibility of the spine as the genesis of movement.
Contact Improvisation-Cristiane Boullosa
Contact Improvisation or CI is "a contemporary game" says Steve Paxton. CI began in US in the 70s as an exploration of the physical forces imposed on the body by gravity, the physics of inertia, the moment, the fall and the catch. CI is a very complex form but at the same time very open, with infinity of possibilities. It is a form of dance created by the dancer at the time he dances. In these classes of contact improvisation we will work physical tools that allow to acquire a concrete structural and functional awareness of the own body, a spatial notion different from that transmitted in the more classical techniques of dance, and a knowledge of how to organize physically in relation to gravity, another body, soil and space.
Creation workshops - Luis Agorreta
We will experiment with creativity in space and with the rest of the performers in three workshops with a common theme: dance and sport. Different experiences in which we will explore concepts such as tactics, competitiveness, rules and fatigue, always focused on integration through dance.
Flying low -Diana Bonilla
The technique of Flying low focuses mainly on the dancer’s relationship with the ground and with the space. Each class proposes explorations around the dancer’s relationship with the land, the weight of his body and the space he inhabits, cultivating interconnectivity and inclusiveness with the environment. Based on simple movement patterns involving efficient use of breath, support, and speed, this practice activates bodies by exploring dynamic ways to get in and out of the ground, enhancing the efficiency of movement, allowing the dancer to be on constant alert, while internally maintaining calm.
