Film as a choreographic score

A partir de una serie de coreografías icónicas de la historia del cine, este taller propone examinarlas, analizarlas, re-encarnarlas, versionarlas, desgarrarselas, hablarlas, recitarlas, cantarlas, y todo lo que se nos pueda ocurrir para descubrir nuevos espacios entre memoria y percepción, entre original y copia, entre texto y movimiento, entre palabra y coreografía, entre partitura y ejecución.

El taller va dirigido a todas aquellas personas que, independientemente de su carrera, disciplina, experiencia, edad o condición, entienden, en su dimensión práctica y conceptual, cada una de las palabras del párrafo anterior.

Memory as a choreographic tool

After warming the physical body to awaken our consciousness and our creative imagination, the workshop will focus on memory and transmission of our own dances from simple proposals as runnning individually or in groups. What coreographies do you remember? What do we retain or forget from them? How can we transfer them to others? What formal and conceptual changes occur in the transfer process? How to recover from the past choreographies and to what extent recovery gives them new meanings? Complex questions with multiple answers that will help us to dance with our memory.

The classroom as a stage

The workshop aims to work not as a performing arts or technical discipline in itself, but as a teaching tool, as a vehicle for learning to design game strategies, both physical and theatrical, applicable to any work area.

We will try to understand theater and dance as a instrumental tool to allow comprehend, review and memorize concepts while bringing the group to promote body awareness.

The workshop offers two types of practices: a more physical, focused on body and mind awakening, health, body awareness and relationship with space and with the rest of the group; and others more mental, but always entertaining, which serve to dramatize the content, ie, to convert any topic in a scenic score, thus fostering creativity and discovering new ways to relate to the exercise of memory.

Simple exercises to apply both inside and outside the classroom, understanding the class or the school as a large theater where every student can find their way to interact with the subjects from creativity and imagination.

striptease, undressing creativity

Después de un calentamiento físico para despertar nuestra conciencia corporal y nuestro imaginario creativo, estudiaremos aquellos elementos escénicos implícitos en un "striptease" que también encontramos en el hecho teatral, como la seducción, la mirada, la intimidad o el cuerpo en movimiento, para ir construyendo pequeños stripteases poéticos de manera individual o grupal.

El taller, pues, propone tomar el concepto de striptease como un punto de partida específico para trabajar la creación escénica en general, desde una perspectiva física, humorística, poética y macarra.
