Movement with touch with Continuo Theatre (CZ)

Venue: Danscentrum Väst
Time:
3 October  9.00-11.00
For professionals and students at a higher education.
Free of charge but requires registration

In collaboration with TeaterAlliansen and Dansalliansen
with support from the International Theatre Programme at the Swedish Arts Grants Committee

Movement Workshop will focus on working with touch and its different qualities, as well as on sensing internal and external impulses and their influence on movement within the body and the overall composition in space. We will explore how touch can initiate movement, transform its quality, rhythm and direction, and how individual impulses resonate throughout the body.

We will also focus on creative principles that can serve as a source of movement material for solos and duets. Through their variations and transformations, we will search for unexpected connections and relationships between the body, space and another person, discovering hidden stories of everyday life within them.
