TOOLS FOR A THINKING BODY. Composition workshop.
After working more than a decade with and for the same choreographer I realized that I had to challenge and reinvent myself each time we would be involved in the creation of a new piece.
If we visualize the creation of a dance piece as a puzzle, and as a dancer you would like to be an active piece on the board, you need to be a thinking body that changes, transforms, translate the basic dance material. We will deal with Space and Time alterations. The first few days we will learn a basic phrase that will be the vocabulary used to build all the changes. Are we able to play with suspensions, to freeze the time on stage? Do we dare to make radical change of speeds and create endless loops that bring our dancing to other quality levels?
The final goal of the workshop is to share the base of my own experience as a dancer and give different guides and suggestions to the participants of when and how to use these principles of transformation and composition.
