360° body
360° Body - Acrobatic Floorwork. In this workshop, we will develop tools to think the body towards the 360 degree. Essential fundamentals from contemporary dance are addressed, as well as other movement techniques, to have a solid and broad base for the body mapping territory. Several acrobatic techniques are used to approach different workflows, exploring our experiences and integrating multiple directions on different levels, based on the fusion of movement and the acrobatic universe. Practice has its own physical and technical focus, while, simultaneously, we dig into the exploration based on various guidelines, in order to achieve the best states from the creativity of the improvisation. Weights, tones, extensions, qualities, levels, and rhythms will be our basis for research. We will focus our work on individual and group processes, with both areas helping us to generate a cool space to explore and share ideas. The goal will be on how, what, and why we record our performance. we are going to go through a tunnel towards the stage state, unlocking blockers, and enhancing the essential dance within each individual.
please be aware of our early bird special offer for this workshop! you can apply for this offer up until the 24th of march 2024. after the 24th the regular workshop fee applies. applications are accepted up until one day before the workshops starts.

company info
SYSTEM
SYSTEM is a company founded by Yasmin Iriel Frione, in 2019, with a talented group of performers. over the last five years, the project has developed various stage pieces, including the trilogy Sistemas de Fuga, and the SYSTEM research training project. Currently, based in Buenos Aires, the company has toured extensively across the country, in neighbouring countries, and in Europe. it has been company resident in different associations and, thanks to several state supports, has performed countless times at festivals and theatres. SYSTEM carries out a physical research based on the mixture of contemporary dance with acrobatic and theatre elements. It is focused on the principles of the deterritorialisation of the body, ways of escaping from a body influenced and affected by certain social and cultural patterns, and the idea of finding a reterritorialisation in new forms, by constructing something more pleasant and recovering a linking approach. Between the participants, with the audience, playing a lot with the thin line between what happens inside and outside the scene. For more information, you can visit the website.
