"In the performances of Vandekeybus the body is at stake in a world of conflict. It's is an arena of tensions and contrast: horizontal/vertical, high/low, hard/soft, virtuosity/vulnerability, active/passive, man/woman, body/mind, man/animal, order/chaos, intellect/instinct, nature/civilisation... On the basis of these types of contrasts where formal, physical and existential categories overlap." – Erwin Jans
This workshop will approach the work of Ultima Vez from Laura’s personal experience with the company. We will study body mechanisms that allow us to reach physical extremes protecting the body at the same time. We will explore some creation process ideas and some physical, energetic movement vocabulary; a flavour and tone of Ultima Vez’s work.
