Movement LABORATORY

In these sessions we will explore tools of improvisation and creation that come from Physical Theatre and different contemporary disciplines such as Contemporary Dance, Mime Corporel, Floor Acrobatics and Contact Improv. We will go through exercises, tools and physical games that will help the performer’s body to find new ways of relating to movement and stage presence. The sessions will always finish with a longer improvisation session and a group feedback.

The aim of these sessions is to have a common space between professional performers and people interested into performing dance and theatre, creating a safe space for both to play, explore and research. Movement improvisation and partnering will be used during the process of the session.

An evening balancing between having a good challenge, a good laugh and a good sweat.

To name a few of the topic’s we will work on:

– SPACE, inspired by Laban Method and Schinca Technique.

– MUSICALITY, inspired by different Physical Theatre practitioners, such as Jerzy Grotowsky and Jacques Lecoq.

– PRESENCE and GROUNDNESS, inspired by Phillip Zarrilli and Sol Garre.

– FLOORWORK, inspired by Contact Improv and Soft Acrobatics.

Who it is for: for dancers, amateur movers and actors interested into going deeper with the work with the body, exploring movement as a way of articulated expression and creation. Open to people with no performing background.
