360° movement
360° Movement - Acrobatic Floorwork. In this workshop, we will develop tools to think the body towards the 360 degrees. We will address essential principles from contemporary dance, along with other movement techniques, in order to build a solid and comprehensive foundation for body mapping. Various acrobatic techniques will be used to integrate multiple directions, inhabiting the space behind and utilising different levels, while fostering a multidimensional approach to movement. At the same time, we will research through various guidelines to reach states of heightened creativity in improvisation. Weights, tones, extensions, qualities, and rhythms will be the basis of our investigation. Scenic tools will be introduced to unlock new possibilities, overcoming blockages and enhancing each individual's unique movement potential. The practice combines physical and technical focus with a special emphasis on creativity and improvisation. We will focus our work on individual and group processes, going through a tunnel towards the stage state, unlocking blockers, and enhancing the essential dance within each of us.

company info
SYSTEM
SYSTEM is a company which was founded by Yasmin Iriel Frione in 2019. Over the past five years, the project has developed various stage pieces, including the trilogy Sistemas de Fuga (Systems of Escape), the SYSTEM Research Training Project, several Shared Cycles, and the solo work Retro Visión. The company has toured extensively across Argentina and neighboring countries. SYSTEM has been a resident company at various organisations and, with the support of multiple state grants, has performed numerous times at festivals and theatres. SYSTEM engages in physical research that blends contemporary dance with acrobatic and theatrical elements. The company focuses on the concept of body deterritorialisation, exploring ways to break free from bodies that have been shaped by specific social and cultural patterns, and finding reterritorialization in new forms— building something more harmonious and re-establishing a sense of connection. This approach fosters interactions among participants and with the audience, often playing with the delicate boundary between what happens on and beyond the stage.
