The workshop is open for dancers, performers, actors, and movement lovers of all levels. The first half of the class will be dedicated to a warmup based on floor work technique, focusing on body articulation and isolation.
During the second part, the class will develop around the idea of movement composition. This process will have individual moments as well as moments of teamwork. Movers will be stimulated to use their creativity to find newand unusual ways to move.
Observing different points of view and enjoying the coexistence of several ideas in the room will enrich everyone ́s personal path during the workshop.
At the end of the class participants will be invited to have a common reflection on the work.
