Creative work
In the workshop we are thematic. The topics will be discussed, explored and deepened.
With the help of certain patterns of improvisation, participants develop a sequence of movements in their own language of movement. By changing the thematic debate and we now extend the original character of the movement phrase (content, rhythm, dynamics and quality) and get a living related to the issue of choreography in which each movement is a meaning. The work goes on solo, duo, trio through to group work.
