Here and now – Between Dance and Poetics Abstract

This workshop is a proposal to work between the spaces created by the lines of movement generate in the scene. For that we need to relocate the body, to displace, to follow the traces of the movement, so with that, to work with what was scratched and traced into the lines of the movement.

“Let it move to make, remake and unmake”.
We will seek to work on actions, to have the verb as inspiration to create sensitive moods where the dance can settle and generate related subjects focused on general poetics – preferably large and profound. Multiple subjects in the interpellation of an artistic body that hangs on the wind of inspirations and exhalations.

“To have fun while being present”.
