//ABOUT THE SESSIONS
During the 4 sessions, we will explore our body in motion, discovering and revisiting different aspects of our consciousness regarding our body as a whole and its parts. This experience will open up our own perception of personal dance. We will welcome the possibility of being surprised at our own tools, sometimes unknown. Launching ourselves to imagine in motion, with a body that is well-calibrated, dedicated, loose but at the same time sustained; a body that is unstructured and lightened up, with internal spaces that ensure a healthy movement experience. How can we experience the physicality of our movement?
With concrete and clear guidelines. Guidelines from different languages, beyond movement (for example, visual arts). What tools do we have? We will use improvisation as a composition tool. Improvisation grants freedom of action and movement to each person, with no need to respond to any existing structure. It allows for imagination. When we are able to understand and name the sensation derived from our improvisation, perhaps with an image or a word, we place our gaze in an outer plane which allows us to rehearse an external look while dancing. By looking at ourselves from the inside and the outside, we can anchor our dance in our conscience.
// PRACTICAL
