PERFORMER TRAINING 

Multidisciplinary artists

In the ever-evolving landscape of the performing arts, how do we educate the future dancers/performers and pedagogues?

Performer Training is a interdisciplinary educational program, designed to provide the participants a wide range of tools, but also the time and space for a personal and artistic growth through research.

CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS

CONTEMPORARY RELEASE / FLOORWORK

Through a dialogue with space and time, we experience the possibilities of our body.
The class begins with a warm-up / physical preparation.

We take some time to realise the state of our body in the present moment and then we start moving consciously.  

Alternating different qualities and dynamics of the movement, we begin to cross the space.
Simple kinetic propositions starting on the ground, evolve gradually in a game between levels and directions.

Playing with gravity, the momentum and the different starting points of the movement we get to reach more complex choreographic phrases.

The class focuses in a technical work but also gives to the participants the opportunity to explore their personal kinetic vocabulary.

BALLET / REPERTOIRE

Ballet: The purpose of this class is to approach ballet as live organism, through a contemporary point of view.

Using the body as a tool, we will progressively bring consciousness into every part it, in order to gain control and achieve the maximum of expression within it.

Organically composed, the class promotes musicality, rapidity and expressiveness.

Repertoire: Through a variety of classical and neoclassical variations, we learn different choreographic languages, that allows a more precise work in terms of technique and expressiveness. Each class starts with a barre/warm up and then continues with the chosen variation.

 

PERFORMER TRAINING WORKSHOP

This workshop is performing arts laboratory.

It emphasizes both on the physical and the mental/spiritual dimension of a performer-creator.
The development of the performer's consciousness and its ability to use all of his/her interpretative and creative tools, is the central axis of this educational approach.

It is a creative process in which one can continuously discover new possibilities combining movement with other performative means.


Open to dancers, comedians and circus artists (professionals and amateurs) in good physical condition.

YOGA

My Yoga path begins back in 2010, when through practice I start to explore this philosophy and way of being.
Experiencing movement through dance since a really young age and studying the functionality of the body, I was interested to a more holistic approach of oneself.
I am giving classes in a weekly basis since 2012.
My class aims to stimulate and respectfully explore the physical and spiritual limits of each participant.
Working on the harmonisation of movement with breathing and learning to accept ourself as we grow, we develop flexibility,  strength and balance.
