WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION | ELECTRIC MOTIONS

The workshop explores contemporary dance, incorporating movement tasks and situations that playfully connect people and focus on the energetics of body language.
The first part of the workshop includes exercises to awaken the body and generating awareness of the entire physical instrument. Attention is given to breath, joint articulation, muscle tone and stability to improve physical strength. Partner work and guided improvisations in order to investigate movement qualities such as slow motion, rewind and distortion. Theatrical tasks highlight the practice to support playfulness and creativity in movement and expression.
The second part of the workshop will focus on the research of the new creation “ Let it rain” which is the second part of a trilogy. Questioning the increasing intimate relationship of humankind and technology.
“Let it rain” creates an intimate space inhabited by two characters in search of the acceptance of one´s differences.
