Intensive Workshop in Asymmetrical-Motion

The Designed Space

In this workshop, we will explore the connection between spinal mobility and the limbs. We will examine how, from this relationship, we can generate movement in space, considering the possibility that each movement is related to a micro-displacement and a spatial design.
Moving is displacement. We will work on the idea of ​​designing in space with its rhythms, phrasing, and pauses, thinking of space and design as a dramaturgy. Dance as a collective design of an ephemeral and spontaneous space.

About Asymmetrical-Motion:
Contemporary Dance/ Asymmetrical-Motion
This movement methodology investigates, through different perspectives, the body’s agility for movement and displacement in space. It understands agility as the most efficient way to organize oneself and achieve maximum power. We will investigate the body’s natural asymmetries, primarily found in the spine, and in the relationships between the skull, rib cage, and pelvis.
We will explore the use of the limbs as an extension of the spine’s asymmetrical movement and, simultaneously, as a support for experiencing its freedom. We will examine the relationship of support, weight distribution, and structural movement to discover the inertia that arises from the interplay of forces and weights.
We will explore the possibility of perceiving space as the infinitely open, vast, and three-dimensional realm where the body moves. The work is based on learning through observation and verbalization of experience in order to collectively generate tools that are shared and explored by the entire group. Understanding the experience of dance as the enjoyment that occurs at the moment of discovery.

María Cabeza de Vaca

True Dragons

I propose a shared space, rooted in playfulness, ritual, and spontaneity, to share the joy of dance. These workshops are open to performing arts professionals and students, as well as anyone curious to explore the body’s expressive resources and creative potential through movement. Placing the body at the heart of the performance experience, we will reflect, through practice, on the body’s limits and meanings. We will journey through the spaces between the inner and outer to find ways to embody our personal imagination through movement.

The workshop offers a space to listen to the body’s deep rhythms and allow ourselves to be transformed by the transformative power of imagination. Sharing my artistic experience as a dancer and choreographer, I will offer practices and tools that have helped me develop my own expressive resources, serving this reflection and allowing us to see the body as a sounding board for life and discover its own resources of the fantastic.

The working sessions are inspired by some of the obsessions and concerns that shape my artistic practice: conquering spontaneity through the practice of spinal movement, the capacity of play to connect us with enthusiasm and instinct, the pause as a compositional tool and springboard to the unpredictable, lack of control as a place of exploration, the exploration of energetic states to find choreographic material.

Tarek Rammo

Panama Pictures

At the crossroads of dance and circus:

The workshop of Tarek Rammo combines dance, floor acrobatics and partner work with compositional tools. It shows how to integrate acrobatic movements into the flow of dance using an improvisational approach. The participants experience how to play with direction, weight, tension and articulation while doing acrobatic movements to feel a sense of freedom and to give intention and meaning to the movements. Tarek guides the dancers and acrobats to be fully involved in their own movement exploration while taking actively part in the context of an overall composition.

The workshop provides insight into the working method of Dutch company Panama Pictures, who is known for its performances at the crossroads of dance and circus. www.panamapictures.nl

Tarek Rammo has joined Panama Pictures in 2017 and plays an important part in the work since then. He is a former gymnast and graduate from Codarts Circus Arts in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
