CAPSULE

Fluid Movement

We will investigate mechanics of movement aimed at dance in a subtle, organic and fluid way.

In the workshop we will navigate the different ways we can enter and exit the ground effectively, using the energy of the ground, without the use of force and taking advantage of the body’s impulses, through technical and improvisation exercises.

We will also work in duos, executing different types of portés and work dynamics in pairs and groups, using the weight of the other as a base and starting from the Contact Improvisation technique.

The student will be invited to develop confidence in themselves and their partner, learning to enjoy vertigo and risk.
