Improvisation

AN INTUITIVE BODY – TOOLS FOR IMPROVISATION

I understand improvisation as a direct relationship between thought and action. Be in the present moment.

The proposal of this workshop is to create a state of availability from the body, to explore new possibilities of interaction with what surrounds us.

Starting from a receptive, relaxed and alert body at the same time, we will connect with our bone structure to find the sensation of muscle relaxation.

I am interested in the confrontation between thought and our body’s instinctive need for movement. We will investigate the constant friction between mind and body in motion. I believe that mental action cannot be separated from physical action, if we find a fluid connection between thought and action, we will be more present in the moment, our presence and our movement will be more precise.

In this workshop we will look for different ways of “thinking.” The body thinks in an intuitive, physical, spontaneous and creative way. We make decisions in motion, of which we are not aware, although they are not arbitrary.

We will explore that initial impulse that starts the movement. What puts us into action? Is the reaction a spontaneous impulse?

We will begin with a warm-up that leads us to a state of listening and physical receptivity.

In exploration through improvisation, we will begin with an individual listening: what is my rhythm, my impulse. We will continue with the research in pairs, dialoguing with another body. To begin to open ourselves to listening to the group and the space.
