Contemporary technique + partnering

During this workshop Contemporary techinque and Partnering work will be combined. The workshop will consist in a very particular approach to the movement and some of its main physical mechanisms, movement will be will be considered as a theatrical act rather than as a technique. We will study and practice some basic tools and principles, which will allow us to find precision, organicity and the right intention while we dance, as well as to explore different movement qualities and physical states.
