Workshop description:
The workshop, emerging out of the solo „Past Winds“ connects theater and dance, by using gestures as an entry point for movement.Through a game of rhythm, interaction, precision and detail the dancers will build complex figures and work on their unique movement language. The aim is to fully involve the body and explore the possibilities it contains, drawing from everyday movements.
During the workshop we will mainly work with improvisation, games and partner exercises, to expand one's own movement vocabulary and research personal creative expressions.
OPEN LEVEL
This workshop is open to professional and non professional dancers, as well as individuals with previous experience in any movement discipline.
