In the first part we will start heating the body with the breathing and the physicality of the body in movement, working the movement from a scale of 0 to 10, to continue investigating and using different ways of using the floor.

We will continue the work on the qualities of the movement, to know the limits of the body and to be able to express actions reaching different states.

In a second part, we will work with different materials from Fractus V (floor, tutting, hips, body percussion, fighting) and after we will continue training with guidelines applied to the materials that I have given previously, in order to be able to develop even more the quality of the movement, navigating through different states, both corporal and mental.

During the whole process of the workshop we will work to be able to dialogue between us, creating a space for sensations.

The workshop will be conducted in English.
