What are the contours of my body?
What delimits the contours of space?
How do I find the contours of encounters?
How do these contours generate action?
This workshop will explore, through movement and dance, the notion of the limits of our various boundaries: of the body, of space, of the environment and of others. The proposals are based on exercises in movement technique, exploration, improvisation, small composition, starting from a previous choreographic design. This proposal focuses on the intersection between movement practices and permaculture, where the principle of “using the limits and valuing the marginal” proposed by this practice in its social aspect will be present, due to its proximity to some methodologies of artistic processes. It is at the limits that the processes of transformation and change take place, in a personal and collective dynamic marked by the construction of new balances.
The training is open to everyone, with or without dance experience.
