I ask myself if I have a moment of silence in my daily life, if I am aware of who I am, of what I do, of my spirituality and if I take enough care of myself: eating, reading, partying, having sex, sharing... in my relationships... or if I am "ALONE" living without attention to my present moment and love. I Invite you to work in “GROUP” from the YOUR OWN present moment. Wondering: DO I WORK IN MY PERFORMATIVE life, physicality, childhood and WILD CHILD inside of me? On my daily life. Am I present? and aware on, HOW DOES MY BODY FEEL NOW? And WHAT CAN MY BODY DO NOW? We will reflect on this in a personalized, conscience and performative way. Through improvisation, purely technical tools, and rigorous research. This workshop aims to support participants in processing their internal organic sensations, presenting them externally in clear choreographic and performative forms. We start from the physical disarticulation, emotional states, and specific question each day. Integrating the present energy, with the mind full of body, and spirit using changes in time and space simultaneously. My workshops can become a party in itself, a funeral, a catharsis, a wedding, a ritual… I INVITE YOU TO BE YOUR OWN PERFORMER.
Human beings are in a constant search in life to know how to continue the path we are on. There is a clear connection between finding our own way, our relationships and our daily actions. We are constantly looking for personal or group goals that are influenced by different physical, mental, emotional and Spiritual states. Each one altered by the other in different ways and in different fields of action. How to integrate these states?
The workshop seeks to offer a clear way to obtain knowledge and self-awareness through the body in movement. How can we find a bridge between reason and emotion? A conscious state of transformation of the interpreter. How to get the participants out of their everyday life and their seemingly "natural" way? And invites the artist - interpreters to get involved in that daily life and identify with the present. In a performative state and stage.
The methodology is developed through concrete patterns of improvisation in altered states with different physical development and/into methods of meditation. Which are then framed in a real social context, or unreal. It is not just an improvisation; it is a conscious laboratory work using improvisation as a technical tool. The session will combine with other movement techniques and challenging task. It is a very physical research depending in your own level.
Guidelines and aims developed during the practical process:
The body, being a wild animal in an emotional path
Tools of improvisation / decision making.
Creative and practical elements in the research room.
Create awareness of the body as a story / time construction in a space.
Focus your attention on the "natural" character of your movements, authenticity.
Awareness of the "Action - Reaction".
Space awareness: individual, public, collective and private.
Better process your internal organic sensations.
Personal knowledge through the spirit and meditation: rational control, trance, presence, resonance, dialogue, and stillness.
Theoretical material and personal biography.
Individual and group discussions.
Performative guidelines, based on agreements established during each session.
Each one, from their own perspective and their experience, will illustrate the audience with their ideas, fears, insecurities, questions and contradictions. Together with the creation process, we will frame it in an actual social context. What reflection do we do? How do we reach a physical or emotional state and transform it without losing our essence, our spirit? What tools do we use? How to recreate a clear space in another symbolically and develop the ability to play with it?
"I believe today's world needs art to heal, needs art to heal our bodies from our souls. Art as a tool of transformation. From our inner feeling and sensations. From our inner beast, being present. With a conscience practice. (Is not easy - for sure is fun). Then there is not past to regret of, there is not present to be disappointed of or future to be worry about. Just moments of learning. Moments of understand our own world, our inner beast, and our own life. So long, we can share and maybe understand others world life. A present to life and future to create."
