with Valentina Desideri and Domenico Giustino
Nov. 27-30
A workshop which explores basic movement principles using both an exterior (architechtonic/functional) perspective as well as a somatic/internal approach.
We will explore the relataion to the floor, the possibility of falling, using spiraling to move through different levels, patterns of pushing/pulling/reaching…
Open to all levels, there will be room for improvisation while working with set mateial.
Here, the idea will be that technique does not deal with a specific form, but rather with the infinite number of possibilities of moving and articulating your body in space.
Everyone is welcome!
