Focusing on working the natural lines of the body and its energy,  thus allowing for greater fluidity in movement.
These classes are based in exploring exercises working the muscle surface to access a deeper level of support. This allows us to be more articulate, more connected to the ground and be able to project energy through the body.

The work is based on the dynamics of breathing and connecting parts of the body with the ground and space from our center.

We will deepen our awareness of physical sensations, to expand the movement options available, activate our energy and enrich the quality of movement.

Tune into our body to continue investigating and finding new places, possibilities and sensations.

Train a body available to dance.

COMPOSITION

The idea of these classes is to explore the dynamic relationship between improvisation and composition : how to transform an idea into movement. Deepen the friction between mind and body moving.

My work methodology is very collaborative, this means that I demand a great involvement of the participants, which enriches their creativity. We explore the possibilities of transforming a concept into a scenic expression, through the body, and at the same time being able to convey an idea.
Learning from everything that surrounds us, we try to understand the world through art, we look for our own personal language of expression and we question ourselves with each creation what message we want to convey.
I have worked in many schools, and I have a long experience in choreography work with groups of different disciplines.

Create a space in which to explore the fundamental principles of the Contact-Improvisation: Sharing the weight, balance, out of balance, relying on the ground, our partner and ourselves, momentum, handling, contact point for roll, down, up, and improvisation during movement.
