Manuela Tessi Workshop
The workshop is divided in two parts:
First: lightness and weight. The weight in the lightness and the lightness of the weight. In the work we will explore these aspects both physically and metaphorically.
Through the use of gravity as a main motivation for movement and the attentive analysis of movement qualities we will work towards sharpening the awareness and the senses.
The physical preparation is aimed at reaching a state of alertness that allows creativity its full potential.
The work will be directed to reach effortlessness in the movement creation, inhibiting unnecessary tensions, making room and availability for intuition.
Second: composition and performance. With the experience of the work previously done we will work in constellations that include dancers and musicians for the creation of pieces on the spot. Alertness of the space and the others in this part will be then the main focus.
Touch, distance, the self through the other, dependence and independence, directness in communication will be some of be themes explored.
For dancers and musicians. Please specify if you are a dancer or a musician.
