Halfway between urban dances and contemporary dance, this workshop proposes to unlock and play with the tools of these techniques. Why stay in the practice of the styles within their frames?why not mix, combine, retro-nourish them? The desire to cover a wider range of possibilities, range of movement and availability gives life to CUERPO VERSÁTIL.
The general objectives of the workshop that will last 7 days are
- To establish contact with the scenic body language of the choreographer / performer Aina Lanas
- Acquiring new techniques from urban and contemporary dance.
- Work on the basis of repetition and rhythm these styles possibly new to the student.
- To apply the new languages to the improvisation and the creation.
- To develop the crossbreeding of styles to blur barriers.
- To work with material focused on recording a video-dance.
We will play to join topics of some styles with topics of others; applying the lines, the coordination,the intention and the cadences of the urban styles to the dynamics of space and improvisation ofthe contemporary dance. There will also be space for duo and group work, understanding theabove together with the awareness of relating to other bodies. Being able to apply textures, emotion, theatricality and scenic awareness to all this.
Methodology
Distributing the time of work in different sections, the choreographer will distribute the topics ofwork by days for a more optimal transmission of knowledge. Aina participates in a present way and lends herself to the service of the students at all times,trying to make sure that all the participants are taken care of.
Regardless of the style that is worked on in each section of the workshop, the teacher will carry outan adequate physical preparation for the subsequent work, thus avoiding injuries ormisunderstandings at the muscle and/or joint level. In all the blocks, time will be dedicated to repetition and resolution of doubts about the moremechanical/technical work, integrating rhythm and cadence little by little so that the studentintegrates 100% of the new information into his/her body. Joy and play will be encouraged in all exercises where the student has to propose new paths.
