DAVID ZAMBRANO – IMPROVISATION

11 – 15.05.15  – 10:30 – 15:30

Improvisation on stage involves the use of conscious choices in order to create an environment in which to dance. Students will be encouraged to find their own creative thoughts, integrating body and mind, space and time. Learning to dance with a flexible mind thus we will create material for structuring solos, duets or group situations. “Dancing is perfect when a relationship of totality exists. The coming together of heaven/dancer/earth, past/present/future, and feminine/masculine results in a dance experience that is orgasmic for both dancers and audience.”

Open to dancers experienced in performing improvisation on stage.

TED STOFFER – WORKSHOP

4 – 8.05.15  – 12:30 – 17:30

The aim of the workshop is to familiarize participants with tools of vocabulary creation and choreographic composition. The tools I use are resumed in “S.T.A.R.” (Space, Tension, Articulation, and Rhythm : tempo & duration). Participants are introduced to these concepts through improvisations, one element at a time. The aim of the improvisations is to access different points of the creative process, or to guide participants out of comfort zones and habitual movement ideas in order for them to discover a habitat of extremes. Understanding these tools allows performers to communicate more accurately the unpredictable world which humanity encompasses. The participants will work individually, in pairs and in groups. The workshop is open to all levels and to anyone interested in performing arts.

Price : 100 euro
