Workshop Introdution
In this training, we will work on exploring our bodies’ articulation in space, using movements from walking, falling and running as our starting points. We will practice navigating the constant pull of gravity, as an endless source of movement and momentum, surfing through our mechanical conditions. This will force us to interact, to let go of control, and regain it. We will explore floorwork techniques, jumps and in between. As another element I will bring attention to our anatomical articulations, as a tool for physical awareness, coordination and efficiency. We will then blend these parts, connecting to music, in order to expand the potentials of physical freedom, joy and expression in our dance improvisations.
