YOUR OWN GOD Intensive Improvisation Workshop
Research is state of mind in which things flow, widening, awake, transcend… This workshop will trigger your un/comfortable zone. I will guide you to look for the unknown exploration of different approaches to movement that is part of my work investigation as a choreographer. Practicing how to keep the state of research, awareness, and curiosity. We will learn how to develop movement in composition with space and in relationship with others. I will encourage you to own your movement. Find precision, and wildness all together but overall, Live in your dance!
