Space motivates to move. It invites us to create and give birth to a happening. Points, lines, curves, planes, shapes, surfaces, trace forms, directions, pathways, narrow, wide, central, peripheral, direct, indirect, small, big… are some of many concepts that provide nutrition for that kind of physical action. The body is organising and reorganising itself constantly, while creating, approaching, following and digesting representations of space. How does it taste? The diversity of efforts involved in this process evokes dynamic and expressive variety. The aim of this workshop is to explore space in a rigorous and playful manner, offering appetisers for technical and artistic movement research. Each session starts from simple warm-up tasks, evolving into more complex arrangements and interactions, that include improvisation and composition as well as executing freshly learned movement phrases.
