4 days workshop – Instant Composition in Dance
UNIVERSITY OF LILLE
Nord de France
The aim of the workshop is to improve the skills in improvisation to create movements and dances in the present moment. The proposed material includes a clear work on the body’s anatomy, partnering elements of physical contact, as well a deep observation of the cognitive and emotional processes behind any movement: from the perception of body’s weight to the aware choices that the performer must take in the immediacy of the instant. Through an active use of imagination and intuition, the participants will explore the use of Time and Space, the listening and the trust, in order to create phrases and instant choreographies. Spontaneity and creativity, thinking and sensing body are some of the topics touched during the workshop.
