DANCE ::: IMPROVISATION ::: IMAGINATION OF THE BODY

The dance class is a proposal to realize one´s individual dance while following the proper bodily wisdom, the movement ensuing from one´s nature and intimacy.

In movement we will involve the fundamental bodily/anatomical principles and use it as a source of information from within. To work in this way means to let oneself be guided by the inner sensation and perception while cultivating the awareness and alertness to the minor changes manifested in the created dance.

Allowing time for the concentration and attunement to one´s self, the unpronounceable pre-conscious processes can unfold and nurture our imagination. In these conditions, our sensibility to the bodily material naturally grows and the emerging movement is in every moment being articulate and set into own choreographic language. We will deepen our study of making dance in the immediacy of the spatial and time condition, focus on improving our ability to observe how the movement articulates our imagery.

The work is designed from the experience of making dance and following movement as a rich source of meaning in a way so the participant as a whole is taken care of at her/his distinct levels of being.
