"Move (the) inside and (the) outside"
Creating in and with public spaces

Dance and physical theatre improvisation and composition workshop
with Jordi L. Vidal

A creative journey & a surprising exploration to move and make the environment around us resonate by living it in a new way.

(Re) discovering original and unusual solutions to obstacles, barriers, architectural constraints so, that they become allies and playing partners.

GOALS

★ Starting from your physical energy, to explore various public places [park, tram stop...] in order to develop your creativity.

★ To acquire new improvisational & composition tools and skills and choreographies.

★ Work with the body and its expression, its presence, its spatial significance, its conscious and unconscious images …therefore, its own language.

★ (further) increase your body’s movement spectrum.

★ (re) connect your physicality with your own creativity, as well as to find new sources of inspiration through your actions.

★ From each participant’s imagination, this training will be the catalyst for theatrical proposals.

WORKSHOP DEVELOPMENT

The working sessions are composed of:
