Description
The interest of this class is to find new perspectives in how through our presences, movement, interaction, and choices, we texturize and recreate the space around us. How we embody ideas through shapes? What underlies behind our movement behavior and in what manner we act, develop, and communicate with the others? How we go from the singular to the plural from the internal to the external and from the private to the public? How can we recognize our identity in the sense we move? These all questions are supporting and enriching the practice allowing a different process to happen.
The first part of the class is a guided improvisational warm-up, where we tune the body by integrating breath, gravity, textures, supports, rhythms, speed changes and coordination in order to create a dialogue between action and the awareness of the spontaneous movement. In the second part we will embody, explore, and develop different movement-tasks or ideas articulating them in time and space as well as challenging the way we phrase movements stimulating our choices and creativity. The third part focuses on the practice of instant composition as a group form, using all the previously worked elements in a playful frame.
