On Recycling, Impulses and Garments: Discovering Inertia

The proposal of this session is to find inertia, follow the flow of movement and take advantage of it to continue the dance, recycling the energy that has been generated through an impulse.

We will focus on fine-tuning listening when receiving direction. At the same time, we will explore how to be precise when offering an impulse to a body, both in stillness and in movement.

Next, we will seek to start a dialogue, managing the rhythm and space, the intensity of the impulses and the direction that each body takes in a shared space.
