Intensive movement laboratory for advanced dancers and choreographers
by Unfinished Company
We would like to invite you to join the workshop with Unfinished Company imparted by Malgorzata Haduch and Melissa Cisneros in Amsterdam on the 28th and 29th August from 10:00 - 14:00 (Health Space OT301, Overtoom 301).
“Unlocking the Body, Stripping the Space”- is a movement practice of being in the present between preformative spaces generated by each dancer and the group. Transforming the different energies of the body-space relation while unlocking the mind into moments of awareness and action.
We will work with several techniques to open our body into different realms, such as vulnerability and unpredictability. Experiencing a flow of sensations and qualities that enhance our perception of space, intuition and presence (being as a whole in space and time ). During the workshop we will create a process of experimentation that challenges the dancers beyond their physical, emotional and mental borders. The starting point for the workshop will be to make ourselves aware of our individual limits in our artistic practice.
To “unlock the body and strip the space” we will study and incorporate the following elements and tools:
* the transformation of movement qualities
* the transformation of energies
* surrendering to the flow of thought and its influence for the movement
* experiencing trajectory from one point to another in different scales and dynamics
* The space in between as the main field for action
* The body as a multilayered space-body
* The variety of emotional states in the changing human landscape
* Creating sensibility for interaction and immediacy
* Dynamics and triggers of change
* Dancing to the sound of silence- practicing body and space musicality, and the balance of careful listening through precise actions.
