Master class around the performance ODE

“This laboratory will focus on physical practices that seek to awaken imagetic and poetic journeys through danced gestures to compose a spatial choreography. Considering here “dance states” that can vary abysmally in form, we will physically immerse ourselves in emotional environments awakened by physical engagements, as well as perceive what certain physical and bodily gestures awaken in our feelings. We embrace the body as political-organic-cultural material, with which dancing emerges as a simultaneous and intertwined act with celebrating and saying goodbye, crying and laughing, calming and confronting, crossing and forgetting - always to remember a dream.

The hours spent together will be immersed in physical practices that might include meditations, “impossible” exercises, touching and writing. We will witness each other, sweat, doubt, and feel our boundaries - even that which may frustrate us - potentially transform into material for shared corporeality. Improvisation tools will be studied together throughout the workshop. To tune in and to listen are dear words for this meeting.
(always with no promises, but with care: to remember that there are many dances and even more that are unknown.)”
