roser lópez espinosa
floorwork & partnering
roser lópez espinosa's work is based on a strong physicality, with great passion for precision, delicacy, acrobatic elements and detail. collaboration and teamwork go hand in hand in a playful, physical universe, with refined poetics and a touch of humour. this workshop proposes a movement approach stemming from an articulated and creative body. we will focus on the richness of the spine to search for curves, spirals, twists, ripples, and combined undulating movements. we will go through floorwork practices, including simple acrobatic movements, while paying attention to the functional use of our anatomy for our maximum movement potential. we will work on partnering and group mechanics, researching on supports, weight transfers and propulsions, and explore paths that will progressively unfold from initial subtle moves to strategies of greater complexity. we will activate observation, team work and physical imagination, and put into practice the use of different eye ranges, detail, precision, and playfulness.
the description reflects an artist’s idea which was developed at the time it was submitted to b12. it may have changed by the time the workshop or the performance project is starting. please stay flexible. thank you!
