I gave two workshops to the local dance community in Mexico, while presenting my work within the FIDanzCa - Festival Internacional de Danza de Calle in Guanajuato.
WORKSHOP / contemporary technique / improvisation /
The class will begin with a warm-up of each body parts, and will focus on different qualities of movements. Work and open communication will be addressed with a partner, allowing participants to assess whether they are alert and present with themselves, people around them and the space while dancing. Three challenges will be introduced during the class:
How to distribute the energy throughout a set of movements, technically challenging
When to retain or to let go, switch from a quality to another
How to be fully involved in the “self” instead of merely reproducing forms
