Workshop
Daniel Abreu focuses his teaching process on the body for the appropriate use from physical knowledge, its limits and possibilities. Still working from formal dance, he approaches the structure of the directed and supported body, the gestural and moving body. And all this while dancing.
We will take advantage of the knowledge to deepen the structure of the body and its mobility. Cellular consciousness, body structure, supports, weight, impulse, direction, projection… Technique as an integrating instrument of the body that communicates, a body with consciousness.
Through the construction of choreographic sequences, improvisation patterns, games, group dynamics and notes, we feel and collect what makes us move more freely and directed.
