Contemporary dance workshop with Lia Meirelles - Listen to the body
The workshop proposes an exploration of the body movement generated from a state of full consciousness. By awakening the bodily awareness, we will build movements that are an expression of our inner selves. This will happen mainly through a guided movement exploration in which each participant is the master of their own development, not aiming to fit in any preestablished movement pattern, but moving as an answer to the wishes of the body.
Fundamentals of this workshop are the notions of weight, axis, and relationship to the space.
Come wearing comfortable clothes. You can participate either wearing socks or bare feet.
Duration: 2 hours
Max. 16 participants
