Energy, flow, resistance & transformation - CONTACTANGO WORKSHOP with JAVIER CURA (ARG)

Energy is the potential for change, which manifests itself in different ways and types of flow. Life and human existence depends on the capacity to transform energy, and there is no energy transformation without resistance. According to the biophysical principle, it is through resistance that we transform and redirect energy into something else.
ENERGY, FLOW, RESISTANCE AND TRANSFORMATIONS are vital, intertwined concepts. We will experience them in our movement explorations, learning processes, and partner dances. We will also apply them to a mix of CONTACT IMPROVISATION, TANGO, TAI CHI, FUSION and SOMATICS. The intention is to go beyond a defined dance style and towards the enjoyment of dance and movement in itself.
“Energy, flow, resistance & transformation” forms part of the broader “Ecological Body” project: a fluid crossover between the disciplines of Biomechanics, Ecology and Somatics. It focuses on the relation between our evolutionary design as opposed to a sedentary lifestyle, and on how to incorporate movement in our everyday life to effectively benefit ourselves, others and the environment.
