Alongamentos e consciência corporal

 

“Dançar com o vento”
+14 & Séniores (port & Ingl)

Usufruindo do simples prazer de dançar explora-se a consciência do corpo, o movimento criativo, o coletivo e o espaço. Parte-se de movimentos do quotidiano, como o sentar e o andar, explorando a flexibilidade e percepção do corpo / mente nas suas particulares/necessidades, inquietações e potencialidades de cada momento.
Trabalha-se em relação com as memórias & desejos, pessoas e elementos da envolvente, tal como natureza e espaço “publico” da cidade, usando a dança contemporânea, respiração, butoh, tai chi e yoga. (Abre-se a possibilidade de co-criação coreográfica em espaço público)

(individual 6€, mensal 20€)

Inspirations

Dance

Peter Michael Dietz

Floating body/ godog Flying away towards other kingdoms of wisdom, carried by the notion of being securely protected by the guardian of trust…. Do we trust this incredible creativity of letting go and alterate the obvious…. No promise it will work, but going deep into the essencial potencial of our lust to go far with our body and mind in games, tricks and dance…… So much that a marathon is nothing compained….There will be space for breathing, a promise….

Steve Paxton

“is a system. It attempts to examine the spine of Contact Improvisation. …Via exercise, ideokinetic imagery, and specific examples I wanted to bring to consciousness the subtle sensation, the moments when usage reveals operations of the skeleton, the muscular connections available between pelvis and fingertips, the soft energetic support of leverage which I take to be chi or ki….. It is all to bring movement to consciousness”

Title:
Flash contemporary dance mob”There are hidden paths in the walls of the town”

Summary:
“Inspired by the idea of trade that was so important in Reading’s history, a flash mob will happen in the most commercial and busy area of Reading where people want to meet but not always can do.”

The idea of the project is to facilitate the interaction with the space in a spontaneous way. This means using techniques of contemporary dance or simply letting the body move, think and act spontaneously in the space. However the overall structure of the performance will be as follows:

Structure of the Performance
1st- Individual action – with a carboard box (and with the space)
2nd- Collective action – very close together very busy and with boxes (like bees) exchange; trade ; constructing / deconstructing
3rd- Pairs/trios histories – imitating / following & contact improvisation
4th- collective action – imitating / following (the people around is invited to participate)
5th- Collective finale _ walking between each other & walking away from each other with a box, stopping in front of a wall trying to continue to walk.
