Lines, rivers or bodies…

Lines, rivers, or bodies:

An approach to (de)composition and performing on the stage.

Doubting is already an impulse, a movement…

(…) The workshop takes improvisation a critical and embodied practice to (re)discover, examine and expand the boundaries and potentialities of what constitute the body. A way to access and question, what remains hidden or beneath under forms, concepts, education, representation and or the myth of the self.

In this context, the workshop proposes different open instructions* (NO score/NO task) based on text, sounds, random objects, relational encounters that invite the participants to focus their research into the friction between what one imagines is happening and what is actually happening, reconsidering and exploring the interval in-between projection and actuality. Affect and being affected. Emotion and movement. Performing and being. Joy and sorrow. Rivers and bodies. Beat and rhythm. Individual and dividual.

Improvisation is thus understood not as a spontaneous expression, but as rigorous technology to practice and cultivate awareness to emergence and urgency.
