Dance Workshop

23 November 2024 ● 15:00

Cine-Teatro Garrett, Sala de Ensaios (Rehearsal Room)

Synopsis

Up, but down, but fast, but slow, but wild, but sensitive.

The workshop begins with the transformation of the language of breaking into other forms, qualities and dynamics with a great focus on the distribution and transfer of weight, as well as on the use of body tension.

It explores the use of weight as a physical element that allows for quick and light movement, while also examining the creative potential of the body parts that are independent of the ground level. The workshop also looks into how we can elevate so-called “tricks” into “movements”, by examining their creative makeup and transitions.

After exploring the body, the focus moves into finding the way of using the physicality to develop theatricality and characters.

Hours: 15h00 to 18h00
Target audience: professionals and people with experience
Maximum number of participants: 15
Registration: €40 (with ticket for a show of your choice included)
