COMPOSITION AND IMAGINATION
Techniques of Improvisation.
In this workshop we will work on observation and the ability to make decisions, fundamental aspects of Improvisation. The aims are to help the participants develop their capacities for perception and awareness of movement, to make it easier for the group to get on the same wave length, to interact with the environment and integrate these qualities in Improvisation. Some of the exercises in the quest for this tuning supply the participants with instruments for communication that crosses the borders of the disciplines and throws light on the practice of the performance and on the processes of dancing. Elements of Contact Improvisation are present in the workshop. The seminary is addressed both to beginners and to those with past experience.
